Von den Socken – Atelier Zitron 16 sock knitting book, in German

Von den Socken – 25 sock designs to knit

"Von den Socken" is the 16th craft book from Atelier Zitron: a sock knitting book with 25 sock designs by Ulrike Brüggemann, with matching patterns to knit from. Across 124 pages, 111 illustrations show the designs, so you can see how the finished socks look before you cast on.

The book was published in 2016 as a first edition by Atelier Zitron's own imprint and is written in German. The patterns are designed for Atelier Zitron yarns, so you can go straight to the brand's matching sock yarns.

What you will find in the book

The patterns are arranged by the four seasons. This makes it easy to find designs that suit the time of year and to choose your next pair by mood or season. A die-cut index for the seasons makes it easier to flick through. There are also ideas for using up leftover yarn from earlier projects.

Yarn and tension

Because the designs are intended for Atelier Zitron yarns, these yarns will get you closest to the result shown in the book. If you use a different sock yarn, compare the length and needle size with the details in the pattern beforehand and knit a tension swatch. This is the only way to be sure the socks end up the size you want.
