Crochet Socks! 

Picture
A few weeks ago I was asked to review the new book by Rohn Strong on Crochet Socks!

Of course I obliged and was so thrilled to delve into a world of crochet that I normally don't do. The book is comprised of a few sock patterns to fit different styles and applications. This book is meant for women's socks, so I wouldn't necessarily wear them myself, but as quickly as they all work up they'd make great gifts! 

This review will follow the same formula as my other BEnjAMIN reviews.

B - If I saw this book in the store, I would definitely pick the book up, flip through it, and probably put it in my cart. There are enough projects in this book that anyone could find something to love in this book. 

Enj - I enjoyed this book immensely. The colorful photographs and designs are fresh, modern, and completely wearable. The charts and images in this book are well-placed and very easy to understand, and are a big help in some of the more complicated designs.

A - There are 12 sock patterns in this book, ranging from the "Basic Sock" to some lace and cable techniques. This book is jam packed with new sock patterns and great crochet techniques, which could easily be translated into other patterns!

M - I plan on altering the basic sock pattern to make a few pairs of my own. I also think these would make great Christmas gifts this year. 

I - The most interesting part of this book is the use of traditional lace techniques in the sock patterns. The falling pineapple sock is fascinating, and would make a great spring/summer house sock.

N - I don't make many sock, so I am not sure I NEED this book, but this guide on constructing crochet socks is a must have for anyone who wants an alternative to the knit sock. 

Rohn's other books are also great innovative resources for the crocheters out there who are looking for new things to do with their hooks.

I have an issue concerning this sock pattern. I’ve finished the toe and affected on to what the pattern calls “next round”. I’ve followed the pattern (ch one. one sc in every sc to finish of round).

However, I notice that my seam is moving, wherever yours failed to. Am I imagined to continue “sc in the same sp as last FTO st” as drawn up within the toe to take care of my seam on rock bottom of the sock?
