A collection of festive sock patterns designed to bring a little extra magic to your knitting
Why I wrote the book
After releasing Knit a Box of Socks, I knew I wanted to create another collection, but I didn't want it to be more of the same.
I wanted this one to feel cozy.
Like sitting beside the Christmas tree with your favourite yarn.
Some patterns are relaxing.
Some will challenge you.
Some you'll knit for gifts.
Others you'll never want to give away.

I wanted there to be something for every kind of sock knitter.

If your local shop doesn't carry it yet, ask them! Many yarn shops are happy to special order books for their customers.
