Tons of Socks to Knit

Most of the time when you buy a knitting book, you consider it a pretty good value if it has 20 or 30 patterns in it. But the aptly named Big Book of Socks by Kathleen Taylor blows most standard knitting pattern books out of the water by providing a whopping 75 different sock patterns for knitters of all skill levels.

The book starts out with the most basic of basics, tube socks, then moves on to socks knit flat and seamed with an afterthought heel, basic socks with flap and gusset and short-row style heels, and a couple of toe-up varieties.

It goes on to provide plenty of projects with a little more style, including lace, cables and colorwork. Some of the projects involving intricate coloring are suitable for advanced knitters, while other projects in the book suit a wide variety of knitters.

If you're someone who can't get enough of sock knitting and you're always wanting to try different patterns without having to buy a bunch of different books, this one might be a good fit for you.
