Unless you’ve been hiding under a very large rock, you know I am into crocheting socks, and designing crochet socks. In the US, I believe that Rohn Strong is THE crochet sock designer. It’s therefore fitting that Interweave, through F+W Media, published this gorgeous book of socks designed by Rohn.
I pre-ordered my copy as soon as I heard about this book, and have had it with me for a few weeks now. Enough that I can tell you that you MUST get it for yourself.
This is more than a pattern book! It’s also a mini encyclopedia of crochet socks, their differences with knit socks, and how to maximize the way crochet works to create a sock you’ll actually wear.
There are 18 patterns in the book. All 18 are projects I want to make, which never actually happens! Here are just 3:
And even as an already-avid sock crocheter, this book has taught me a few things =)
Get it now on Amazon.

Hiya, just crawled out from under that rock to find you. Wow, loving your patterns! My Grandma Betsy taught me to croche when I was 7 years old, (for which I am eternally grateful), but I didn’t really take it up seriously until over 40 years later. I am so in awe of the versatility of crocheting.
Crochet is so misunderstood =) And I am really happy to meet you!
