From sheer stockings to winter socks: sock fashion in Scandinavian design. Creative knitting patterns for beginners and advanced knitters.

Wool socks with Scandinavian design – from traditional to creative Knitting beginners ask themselves: Isn't knitting socks complicated? This question is easily answered: No, it isn't! But how do you knit socks that are truly eye-catching? Socks with unusual patterns have long been a part of Scandinavian fashion. Each of these intricate knitting patterns tells its own story, and each colorful motif has its own symbolic origin. Nevertheless, many of these patterns are quite easy to knit. Whether as house socks, Christmas socks, or colorful summer socks for everyday wear, this book has something for every knitting enthusiast:
  • 20 detailed knitting patterns, suitable for beginners and advanced knitters: from thin, romantic stockings with cable patterns to thick, fluffy socks
  • Seasonal-inspired models adapted to the temperatures in terms of color and yarn thickness
  • Learn to knit for beginners: Introduction to the abbreviations and technical tricks of knitting with a practical size chart for socks
  • Eye-catching, colorful knitting patterns with detailed instructions for knitting the toe, foot, and heel of the sock
  • Yarn Basics: Which wool and sock yarns should you use with which needle size, and what alternatives are there for the different yarn thicknesses?
Socks for every season – from delicate and romantic to warm and cozy Every pair of hand-knitted socks brings its own story with it. The warmest winter socks might remind you of a long hike through a snow-covered winter landscape; the thin stockings with the delicate lace pattern, on the other hand, remind you of friends from your knitting group, and the first pair of hand-knitted socks quickly became your children's favorite cozy socks. The models from the book "Knitting Finnish Socks" also tell similar stories, inspired by nature and the seasons. Discover the diverse knitting patterns of Scandinavian fashion!
