Simply Socks: 45 Traditional Turkish Patterns to Knit

by Anna Zilboorg

“Nowhere else will you see this many Turkish socks in their great mad colors. The combination of clear geometric patterns with riotous color choices is wonderful....The color pictures are great...the charts are big, clear, and good.”— Knitter’s Magazine. “Full of gorgeous color photos....The pages of history and cultural influence are the most intriguing part of the book....The patterns are a challenge—distinctive, and utterly beautiful.”— Small Press.

About the author

Born and reared in New York City; educated at Harvard; taught at MIT. Fled from the madding crowd's ignoble strife until I found myself in Big Stone Gap, VA. Got religion. Returned to my childhood love of knitting; became a hermit.

I’ll never knit any of these, but the socks are so beautiful that I bought a copy anyway!
