Adjust stitches so that you can continue working with your Light Blue yarn where you left off. Complete that row in knit stitch, and then do two more rows of knit stitch in Light Blue.

Repeat from * until your sock is the right length for your foot.

For reference, I had a total of 5 Dark Blue and 5 Light Blue stripes for my UK size 5 feet.

Refer back to the heel instructions and work the toe the same as the heel.

Complete the sock with kitchener stitch and weave in your ends.

Tada! You now have your own pair of 13th Doctor Socks!
