Do not work joining round. Join toe to foot using kitchner stitch. Weave in all ends. Options to change size of sock: Increase length of foot/leg add knit rows between chevron repeats Increase diameter CO more stitches (an even number) then: 1. Add knits between Chevrons to keep 1 chevron centered on the instep, and move side chevrons farther to the sides 2. You will not need to make an extra stitch after leg if there is an even number of sts. 3. For rearranging 9 sts should remain on the instep needle for working chevron. of the total # of sts should be on the sole. Remaining sts will be on the side needles 4. Heel/toe width is increased by increasing the number of stitches between pairs before forming heel cup. 5 sts ~ 1 heel width, 9 sts ~ 1 heel width. Always end on WS row.
