Cut the yarn leaving a long thread, and thread this through the remaining stitches and pull tight. Secure with a couple of stitches.
Now stitch down the sock using a flat seam so that the sock will feel comfortable.
EASY!!!
For more experienced knitter, the 20 center stitches can be worked in a pattern like cables.
Comments
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. Finally a pair of knitted socks that do not require the ever so intimidating round or dpn needles.
I can't wait to give these a try.
Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!

I had trouble, too, but figured it out. Use the left needle and weave it through the long edge of those 16/17 rows just knitted to create 10 stitches on the left needle. then, treat them as stitches to knit.

I just have one question.... How can't print it this pattern out, without getting all the other having to print everyone's comments at the bottom, it take too much ink when I have to print everything on the page and I can't seem to find a spot that says, print pattern only.
Thanks again for this pattern!
Many thanks for the sock pattern,
will try this week.
nice site, all the best cloverx
I don't understand how to sew the flat seam. I keep getting a ridge.
Plaae help me.
Can someone explain how I knit 11sts and then only knit on those sts for 16 rows, does it mean I have to use a third needle on that section? I've never come across that before...
