NOTE: 
In Stylecraft Special I only need to to do 11 rows of dc [tr]to fit my foot

NOTE:
Because you change colour every row, alternate the joining from side to side so the extra thickness of woven in ends is spread around the sock and not in one area only.

Lengthen the sock foot or top by adding a few more rounds if you require

NOTE: 
You can add more rounds if you want longer socks, but if you have bigger calves you could find you need to add a few stitches to make for a comfortable fit
