knit your socks

crochet needle

To knit a stocking needles four,
Cast on three needles and no more,
Each needle stitches eight and twenty,
Then one for seam stitch will be plenty.

If a book gets judged by its cover, it is thanks to those who helped make it happen!
First off all, grateful thanks to my mom, Tineke Meijerman, who probably did not realize at the time that when she sent my siblings to bed one December night, letting me stay up in wonder and anticipation of what was to come, that I was singled out for something more after St. Nicolas visited and brought us presents. That evening I learned how to knit. It was the best present a five-year old could want.
Many thanks to my dearest husband Roelant, my wonderful children Adrian, Justen and Celina, mother in-law, Joke and Alexis Schenk, who are all probably wondering if I will ever do anything else, for all they see are more and more socks being made the knook way. Thank you for your patience.
And to my equally long-suffering friends, Heather Hockley, Luanne Evans, Margaret Weir, Donna Baines, Debbie Koens and Jacqueline Luinstra. Thank you, dear friends for watching me week after week with yet again a different ball of wool, creating yet another pair of socks. And to my dear friends, Anees Vakharia, for the title suggestion and Christine Vakharia, for proofreading my work and spending all that time unravelling my manuscript like a piece of knitting. Without her help, I would not be able to feel such satisfaction in fulfilling my dream of passing on this special technique of knooking beautiful socks to other passionate crafters.
Blessings to you all,
Agnes
Introduction
Imagine wearing socks that you can make without using four short needles where the stitches might slide off. No more fiddling, no more ladders in your socks that form when you change from one knitting needle to the next. Socks that look like you actually knit them, but instead you used a simple crochet hook! That is what knooking your socks will do for you.
When I first read about how to knook,
the simplicity of the word described the better of two worlds: knitting a product using a crochet hook. If it sounds a bit daunting, but you have knitted scarves and crocheted doilies using basic stitches, this book is for you, whether your skill level is beginner, intermediate or advanced. Add a little bit of Tunisian crocheting in there, and you are ready to knook.
Even though I learned how to knit as a young five-year-old in the Netherlands, knitting socks was never one of those skills I really wanted to pursue. I had the experience but not the drive to continue knitting socks. So instead, I decided to crochet socks. Crocheting goes faster than knitting; the
