The Sock Project

Knitting secrets for creating socks in all shapes and sizes, bursting with dots, zigzags, stripes and a near-neon palette of joyful colour, The Sock Project is a bold and playful guide from Summer Lee, an Oklahoma native and proud member of the Muscogee-Creek Nation.

Sock projects are universally loved by knitters, but Summer Lee turns this much-loved classic completely topsy-turvy with designs packed full of electric colour and seriously wow-worthy patterns. Her fresh, modern approach makes sock knitting feel exciting, creative and endlessly customisable.

This book truly is for every knitter – beginners keen to learn from the ground up, confident knitters wanting to sharpen their sock skills, and anyone eager to fill their needles (and sock drawers) with vibrant new designs and personality-packed colourwork.

Skills are built month by month across 12 levels of sock knitting, starting with the humble but mighty Basic Sock and progressing to lace socks, cabled socks, Estonian inlay, and stranded colourwork. Along the way, you’ll knit 18 fresh, zippy patterns, plus clever variations on favourite designs to keep inspiration flowing.

Bright, joyful and full of creative energy, The Sock Project is a starburst-colour celebration for adventurous knitters who love learning new techniques and knitting socks that truly stand out.
