Cast off using a stretchy cast off - or cast off LOOSELY (if you find this difficult – use a larger size needle - perhaps a 4.5mm needle)

Cut off all the yarns

Fold the cast on edge in half and join seam to form the sole

Join the back seam – from the sole to the top of the cuff

Darn away ends

Fold down the cuff

Variation with a red cuff

As an alternative – you can make the cuff in Red.

Work exactly as above until Row 19 has been completed – then work Row 20 and each row onwards using Red yarn.
