About this item

Socks continue to be a favorite project of knitters, but "single sock syndrome" - losing interest in knitting that second sock after the first one is done - is the perpetual dilemma.Knit 2 Socks in 1 introduces a distinctive new method that will appeal to sock knitters of all levels as the simplest, most accessible way yet developed to knit two socks at a time. This innovative technique begins with making the first sock's cuff. The knitter can then relax and knit a long tube, which makes up the main body of both socks. With the help of a lifeline (scrap yarn that is threaded through stitches to hold them in place) , the knitter can easily separate the long tube into two socks. The heels and toes are worked with a simple two-row repeat and are finished with a "hat closure," a novice knitting technique often used to close the tops of hats.
