There are so many sock knitting books at the bookstore, at the library, at your local yarn shop, so why another one? Because this one is written by a sock knitter who remembers what it was like to be a beginner. I remember the struggle to understand a pattern, trying to decide what yarn and needles to use, not to mention what size to make.

When you start out, there are so many decisions and choices and options. Tons of options!! Top down, toe up, which heel, which toe? Then deciding on cast ons and bind (cast) offs. Some of you may not even know what “sock” yarn to buy. Is there such a thing as sock yarn or can you just use fingering weight yarn? Don’t worry, we’ll get to all of that.

This book is based on the No Fear Sock Knitting Class on my YouTube channel. My goal there and here is to provide you, the beginner (as well as experienced) sock knitter, with the information you need to build a foundation of understanding that eliminates fear and worry. Once you understand all of the moving parts of sock knitting, the fear will be gone and you can get on with the wonderful adventure that is sock knitting.

No Fear Sock Knitting is the book you never knew you always wanted, written by someone who, I hope, feels more like a friend than an expert doling out information.

So, my friends, it’s time for some fearless sock knitting...
