Mattress stitch: pick up 1 or 2 bars right after the selvage stitch and pull the yarn through. On the other side, find opposing selvage stitch, pick up again 2 bars and pull the yarn through. Come to the other edge of your work, insert the needle into the same hole that the yarn came out from before and pick up the 2 bars again. Continue in this manner to the end adjusting the yarn tension as you go.

Rows 1-3: sel s, [k1, p1] – repeat till the end, sel s.

Change yarn color from yellow to white. In the next round after you change color, always knit the first stitch instead of slipping it. Like this you will not have jogs when you start seaming up socks.

Row 30: bind off 13 sts, k32, sel s.

Row 31: bind off 13 sts, k19, sel s.

Row 32: sel s, k18, sel s.

Repeat Row 32 until central part reaches 33-34 cm (measure the length of the central part from the 32^nd row, not from the 1^st row).

Bind off all stitches. Cut the yarn leaving at least 15 cm tail.

Place the sock with the wrong side facing up, fold the central part, thread the tail through a yarn or tapestry needle, start stitching up the sock from one side using mattress stitch method. Cut the yarn.

Attach new tail (20cm) and stitch up the sock from another part starting with toes. At the end do not cut the yarn and leave the tail to stitch up a heel. Thread the tail that we left at the very beginning and stitch up the ankle using the same method. Cut the yarn. Finally, stitch up the heel using the last tail. IMPORTANT, while sewing the heel at times you are going to insert the needle twice into 1 stitch at the bottom part. We are doing it because we have more stitches on the top than at the bottom and want to get a neat seam. Check the video if you have any doubts.

Cut the yarn and weave in ends.
