Magnificent Mittens & Socks: The Beauty of Warm Hands and Feet by Anna Zilboorg, Alexis Xenakis (Photographer)

Published 2010

The new, revised edition of Magnificent Mittens & Socks includes directions for working socks. Anna's toe-up, free-sole sock design works with all those beautiful color patterns: stranded patterning on the top of the foot and a reinforced sole. This practical approach avoids the inelasticity of most stranded, color-patterned socks and solves the problem of too much work for too little wear. Now your socks can be as magnificent as your mittens!
