Introducing My New Book: Socks – The Crochet Way
I’ve been keeping this under wraps for a while, but I’m finally ready to share the big news…
My brand new book, Socks: The Crochet Way, is coming soon—and I can hardly wait to get it into your hands!
If you’ve ever been curious about crocheting socks—or maybe you’ve tried and ended up with something a little lumpy, stiff, or just plain awkward—this book is for you. Socks: The Crochet Way is all about showing you that yes, you can crochet socks that fit well, feel good, and hold up to everyday wear. This book is your guide to doing just that—with confidence and creativity.
The Heart Behind the Book
Over my 27 years of teaching crochet, one thing I hear all the time is, “Wait… you can crochet socks?” or “I tried once, but it was a disaster.”
And I get it! Sock patterns are often written with knitters in mind, and most crochet sock patterns either don’t fit quite right or aren’t comfortable to wear. I wanted to change that.
That’s why I created Socks: The Crochet Way. It’s more than just a pattern book—it’s a practical, empowering guide to sock-making for crocheters. Whether you’re brand-new to socks or ready to take your skills up a notch, this book gives you the tools, techniques, and support to succeed.
What You’ll Find Inside
While the book doesn’t hit preorder until June 15th, I want to give you a little sneak peek of what’s inside:
- Construction options – top-down, toe-up, different heels and toes (with tips on how to choose the right one for you)
- Yarn & gauge guidance – including how to work with fingering weight yarn without fear
- Fit and sizing strategies – so your socks actually feel good on your feet
- Durability tips – because handmade socks should last
- And of course… original sock patterns – ranging from simple to a bit more spicy, with something for every crocheter
But beyond the patterns, this book is about teaching. I walk you through every step so you know not just what to do, but why you’re doing it. You’ll be able to adapt and even design your own socks once you understand the foundations.
