Fold the sock so the tail we left at the beginning is in front. Insert the hook underneath the chain of the first row of the fabric that is closest to you and through the back loop on the other side. Yarn over and pull it through both loops and the loop on the hook. Slip stitch these two edges together until reaching the very end. Cut the yarn and weave it in the end.

Now take the yarn needle, thread the tail we left and close the sock’s toe.

Repeat for the second sock.
