Grafting the Toe:
Cut yarn, leaving a 12-14 inch” tall tail. With yarn needle, graft toe using Kitchener stitch (see page 6 for instructions).

Kitchener Stitch
Make sure that your toe sts on divided equally between two needles.
Hold the sock so that the yarn tail is on your right.
Anchor the first two stitches as follows: insert the yarn needle into the first stitch on the front needle as if to purl and pull through, leaving the stitch on the needle. Then, insert the yarn needle into the first stitch on the back needle as if to knit and pull through leaving the stitch on the needle.
Step 1: Insert the yarn needle into the first stitch on the front needle as if to knit, pull through and slide the stitch off the needle. Insert the yarn needle into the second stitch on the front needle as if to purl and pull through, leaving the stitch on the needle.
Step 2: Insert the yarn needle into the first stitch on the back needle as if to purl, pull through and slide the stitch off the needle. Insert the yarn needle into the second stitch as if to knit and pull through, leaving the stitch on the needle.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all stitches have been grafted. When you only have 1 stitch left on each needle, you will only work the first half of Step 1 and 2 to secure those stitches. Pull tight and thread yarn tail through the Wrong Side of the sock.
Weave in ends.

Finishing:
Weave in any loose ends. Block sock by dampening sock and gently tugging into shape. Lay flat to dry or use a sock blocker.
