Do you have a favorite book? Or a whole pile of them? Books you read over and over because it’s comforting, like visiting an old friend when you’ve had a bad day? I have several … a small bookcase full.

This sock is designed to look like my little bookcase of old friends. Slipped-stitches form the books, either standing straight or leaning to the side, all sitting on garter shelves.

These socks are suitable for both men and women. Four sizes (S, M, L, & XL) are charted so you can make these socks for almost anyone.

Yardage approx. 360 (380, 400, 420) yds
