Product Description
Take your sock knitting to new heights!
If you love knee-high socks, you know there are never enough knee-high patterns to keep your needles going. Inside this book, you'll find resources to fulfill your every knee-high need. From casting on at the knee to grafting the toe stitches, Barb Brown will lead you step-by-step through creating a fabulous pair (or pairs!) of knee-high socks.
Inside Knitting Knee-Highs you'll find patterns for:
- Intricate colorwork inspired by ancient tapestries and modern-day indie dyers
- Twisting and twining cables from knee to toe
- Lovely lacework that looks delicate but can stand up to the wear and tear knee-highs take
- Beautifully textured stitches inspired by beloved knitting traditions
- Warm and cozy pairs created from sport and DK weight yarns
Once you dip your toe into Knitting Knee-Highs, your sock knitting will never be the same!

Queued all patterns on ravelry,
By
This review is from: Knitting Knee-Highs: Sock Styles from Classic to Contemporary (Paperback)
All the patterns in this book are beautiful, so I queued them all on ravelry. For each 'knee-high' pattern, there is an accompanying 'regular' sock version of the pattern. The charts are clear and easy to read and the pictures are very clear (not from a strange angle or dark).
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Knee Highs and Leg-warmers.,
By Laura (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knitting Knee-Highs: Sock Styles from Classic to Contemporary (Paperback)
I really enjoyed the patterns shown. I plan to make some of them up as legwarmers for my nieces. The graphics are good and the charts are easy to follow.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Knee Sock Awesomeness,
This review is from: Knitting Knee-Highs: Sock Styles from Classic to Contemporary (Paperback)
I am in awe of the quality of this book. The patterns are gorgeous, they're clearly photographed and each one has alternate colors and styles (anklet, regular height, or legwarmer options) shown as well.
And then tutorial at the beginning, about how to create your own customized perfect fit knee-high? WIN. I had the pleasure to see all the samples (and meet the author) in Olds, and really, all I can say is wow. Get this book.
