A varied pattern collection for colorful, customizable socks

Summer Lee’s collection brings together 25 sock patterns spanning boot, ankle, loafer, and cuffed styles. The designs range from Scandinavian and European traditions to mod looks and playful motifs, including mushrooms, sheep, and lobsters. Alongside the variety of shapes, the book introduces techniques such as cables, colorwork, ribbing, and textured knitting, with instructions arranged progressively so projects can build on the basics. Customization is part of the appeal: the patterns offer starting points for creating many different looks, while socks’ modest yarn needs make them a practical format for exploring new techniques.

Book overview

From Summer Lee, sock knitting guru and author of reader favorite The Sock Project, a fun new collection of patterns for making socks in every shape and size, all in her signature palette of neon bright colors

This colorful volume presents a variety of sock styles, from boot socks and ankle socks to loafer and cuffed styles, and a universe of techniques. Try your hand at cables, colorwork, ribs, and textured knitting with 25 easy-to-follow patterns, then customize your designs to make dozens of different looks!

Chapters offer traditional Scandinavian and European sock designs, mod designs that would make MoMA proud, and socks with whimsical motifs like mushrooms, sheep, and lobsters!

Socks are perennial favorites because they're addictively quick to make, require far less yarn than scarves or sweaters, and can be easily customized to fit. This patten collection provides a fun way to learn all sorts of techniques, and the instructions are progressive, meaning new knitters can start at the beginning and learn the basics before advancing to harder projects.

And experts can turn to the patterns they're most excited to make and dive right in.
