Besides a basic sock pattern and the how-to instructions, Bordhi’s book offers ten other sock patterns that include cable knit socks, intarsia socks, and felted booties. She also explains how to take favorite sock patterns written for double-pointed needles, and transpose them for knitting on circular needles.
Bordhi’s book begins with a basic sock pattern that is fairly easy for an experienced sock knitter to follow. Knitters new to socks will have a bit of a learning curve to master the basic sock, but the circular method is less complex than the double-pointed needle method, so it is a good choice for first time sock knitters. Having an accomplished knitter nearby to help with the thornier aspects of sock knitting, like turning the heel, forming the gusset, and decreasing the toe, will minimize frustration.

Transpose Favorite Sock Patterns to the Two Circular Needle Method
Knitter Cat Bordhi spent months developing a method for knitting socks on two circular needles. She has published her method in a book titled, Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Passing Paws Press, 2007, which sells for about $17.
Cat Bordhi Book Shows How to Knit Socks with Circular Needles
Knitting socks is a big challenge for any knitter. Within the space of a relatively small garment the knitter must make ribbing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], turn the heel, pick up stitches for the gusset,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], decrease for the toe, keep track of which direction the work is going, and manage three or four intersections on each round, all while trying to keep 4 double-pointed knitting needles from sliding out of the work. There is a better way.
Socks are definitely one of the more complex garments a knitter can take on, but with a little practice, knitting socks on circular needles is easier and faster than knitting on two sets of double pointed needles.
The biggest benefit to knitting socks on two circular needles is the stability of the work. The needles do not slide out of the stitches the way double-pointed needles tend to do. This makes a sock project very portable, and easy to try on as the work progresses. After knitting stitches across one needle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the knitter slides the work to the middle of the cable, drops that needle, picks up both ends of the second circular needle, and keeps on knitting. Decreases occur in the middle, rather than on the edges of the work, making errors easy to spot and correct.
