Full description for Around the World in Knitted Socks

  • Using stitch motifs and colors, knitting techniques and construction details, the socks presented here blend regional knitting traditions with Stephanie's unique design flair. These patterns draw inspiration from signature local textiles, such as Turkish kilim carpets, Japanese sashiko embroidery, Belgian lace, American quilts, and Scottish argyle tartan. They also give a nod to traditional knitting techniques, including Estonian and Latvian braids, Norwegian stranded knitting, and Austrian twisted-stitch designs. Though each pattern draws on a different global inspiration, the thoughtful construction and attention to detail are signature elements of Stephanie's work. To help knitters achieve the eletant finishes showcased here, a detailed glossary and accompanying photographs demonstrate the special techniques.
