An ingenious approach to knitting socks reveals how to knit two at once on a single circular needle, explains how to adapt any sock pattern to the two-at-once technique, and furnishes fifteen original patterns for colorful sock designs using a variety of yarn weights.

Not only can you learn how to knit socks on a circular needle, you will learn how to knit them at the same time, ensuring they are exactly the same when finished.  No more second-sock syndrome!  The hardcover book has a wire binding so that it lies perfectly flat when open.  As if all the great instructions weren't enough, there are 17 patterns included for men, women, and children.  Once you try a single 40 needle, you might just give up your dpns forever!

Melissa Morgan-Oakes learned as a child to crochet, tat, and sew without commercial patterns. When her children were small, she created award-winning sewn and crocheted garments. Melissa later taught herself to spin and knit, so she brings the perspective of a self-taught knitter to her innovative methods. She now teaches and designs patterns for WEBS, America's Yarn Store. Melissa lives in western Massachusetts with her family.

Klappentext

Knitting one sock is fun and rewarding, but finishing its partner can become a chore that leaves well-intentioned knitters suffering from “second sock syndrome.” With this two-at-a-time technique you can easily finish a full pair of socks on the same day. Step-by-step photographs illustrate how to cast on and knit two socks together on one long circular needle, whatever the pattern or shape. Lonely, abandoned single socks are now a thing of the past!
