About this ebook
Learning to knit socks for the beginner has NEVER been easier! This book is perfect for the first-timer sock maker. Once you conquer making the socks provided here, you are ready to move on to other more difficult sock patterns. I include many photos and clearly written directions to make it as simple as possible. I remember my frustration at first learning how to do it, so I wanted to make it easier for others. Packed pages include clear guidance about: Introduction / Supplies / Casting On / Knit & Purl Stitches / Heel Flap / Turning the Heel / Gusset / Foot /Toe / Oops! / Closing Remarks / Resources

Knitting Socks For The Absolute Beginner - Diane Barton
Introduction
Knitting Socks for the Absolute Beginner
Because the goal of this book is to learn how to knit socks, it is not a traditional knitting book. There are directions for one sock so you can go through it slowly step-by-step. This way you can learn the process before learning more ambitious designs.
A small-sock is a great first real project, or for a quick on the go project for those with more experience. If you know how to knit and purl, but have never knitted a sock before, or ever used double-pointed needles, it will feel strange at first. Keep in mind once you complete the first round or two, it becomes MUCH easier.
The part that seems to intimidate people that most is the turning of the heel.
But once you can visualize what needs to be accomplished, it is doable for just about anyone.
This tutorial uses a set of four double-pointed needles. Three used to hold the stitches as you go around, and the fourth moving as you knit. You can, of course, use five and get the same results. But, they sell most needles in sets of four and using four gives you fewer needles to conquer, fewer is better for beginners.
We do not deal with gauging your stitches
