OR

Use the kitchener stitch to seam the toe closed.

Weave in the ends.

No blocking necessary.

Size Alterations:

CO on in increments of 2 to make it wider or narrower.

Side Note:

I found that when wearing them, they’re more comfortable to wear inside out. The cuff is the same either way. :)

These are meant to be oversized, but when I realized I could wear them with my Sperry boots, I wanted a pair that fit a little more snug, so for my next pair I’m going to CO 40 STS.
