 I usually do not work with one-fourth/one-half/one-fourth st distribution. When knitting the leg and the sock, I move a
couple of sts from each end of Needle #2 to Needles #1 and #3. If you do this, î  you redistribute the sts when you
work the heel. You can also knit with 5 DPNs. If you do this, split the sts on Needle #2 evenly onto two needles. It͛s not
that any one way is better than the other, it͛s just want feels most comfortable in your hands.
 When altering the design, keep in mind what will feel good. A garter stitch foot might feel lumpy, as will making too
many color changes, and knots.

 
a Work the entire leg in k2 p2 rib for added fit around the leg
a Work a pattern stitch based on 4 sts on the leg and top of the foot (for example, a cable or lace stitch)
a Ñse up left over sock yarn by adding it as stripes in a plain colored sock, or work the cuff, heel or toe in a contrasting
left over yarn.
a Work the heel flap in k2 p2 rib for added fit around the heel
a Work the cuff, leg, heel, foot or toe in different colors
a èarter stitch the cuff for a rolled effect
  
No two feet are born alike. You may have one foot that is longer than another, or a bunyon which makes one foot wider
than the other. No fear, you can customize the fit of your sock.
a If you have legs that are bigger around than your foot, add extra stitches in multiples of 4 when you cast on (everything
is done in multiples of 4 on socks). When you work the gusset, decrease to the number of stitches you want for the
foot. Remember, you need to decrease at least 4 stitches.
a If you have feet that are bigger around than your leg, add extra stitches to the foot when you work the gusset. Instead
of decrease to the same number you cast on, stop 4 or more stitches (again, it must be a multiple of 4) sooner.
