The patterns themselves cover a variety of knitting techniques and come from the top names in knitwear. Kate Atherley, Ann Berk, Cat Bordhi, Rachel Coopey, Jeny Staiman, Hunter Hammersen, and others share projects that will have sock knitters gobbling up designs that range from traditional to innovative, with difficulties from simple to complex.
