Hold the two knitting needles with wrong sides together so that needle with the 50cm/20ins end attached is at the back and on the right side edge.
Thread end onto a yarn needle. You will work across the sts from right to left. Take care that yarn is pulled firmly (but not tightly) through the sts and make sure the yarn goes under the knitting needles when working from one needle to the other.
Insert yarn needle purlwise (as if to purl) through first st on front knitting needle and leave on knitting needle, then insert yarn needle knitwise (as if to knit) through first st on back knitting needle and leave on knitting needle.
Now continue as follows:
1. Insert yarn needle knitwise through first st on front knitting needle and slide st off knitting needle; insert yarn needle purlwise through next st on front knitting needle and leave this st on knitting needle.
2. Insert yarn needle purlwise through first st on back knitting needle and slide st off knitting needle; insert yarn needle knitwise through next st on back knitting needle and leave this st on knitting needle.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until there is one st left on both needles. Take care at this point that the sts don’t accidently slip off the ends of the knitting needles.
4. Insert yarn needle knitwise through last st on front knitting needle and slide st off knitting needle; insert yarn needle purlwise through last st on back knitting needle and slide st off knitting needle.
5. Insert yarn needle back into sock to wrong side and weave in end securely.
