K nitting one sock is fun and reward-

can be boring. Now an easy-to-learn

work on two socks at one time, finishing
both parts of the pair on the same day.

method of casting on and knitting two
socks together on one long circular

be adapted to this innovative 2-at-a-time
technique, so the fun doesn’t end with

Around the Corner Crochet Borders

A crochet border is the perfect finishing touch on the edges of any fiber project.
Creating one, however, often requires turning a corner and shaping the edging
around a 90-degree angle. This is rarely simple, and most edging patterns don’t
include specific instructions for turning the corner. Edie Eckman comes to the rescue
with this collection of 150 colorful crochet frames that do supply these instructions.
