Knit Like a Latvian: Socks - Ieva Ozolina

From David & Charles, Knit Like a Latvian: Socks by Ieva Ozolina is a paperback collection of traditional Latvian sock knitting patterns, created for knitters who want to explore distinctive folk designs at their own pace. With 50 styles to choose from, the book includes knee-length socks alongside simpler variations such as ankle socks and leg warmers, making it approachable for less experienced knitters while still offering plenty of variety for confident makers.

Alongside the patterns, it highlights the cultural importance of knitted socks in Latvia, where girls are taught to knit from a young age and brides traditionally gift socks and mittens to wedding guests. The collection captures the character of these folk patterns and shows how they can be mixed with a contemporary wardrobe.
