Weave in ends. Since the sock is so small you can not turn it inside out, I pulled the yarn from the toe up to the cuff and wove it in there. I also wove the yarn from the long tail cast on into to stitches and left the rest to dangle on one pair, the other I used that yarn to attach to earring hooks.
In this pattern you can use any decrease that works for you. On my second pair of teeny socks I used the s1, psso decrease. Have fun with this, if you want smaller socks cast on less stitches, bigger socks cast on more. Don't worry about making a mistake, its just yarn. You can rip it out and try again, hopefully learning something in the process. If you find anything wrong with my pattern, please let me know! This is the first pattern of mine I've wrote down, so this is a bit new to me! Also if you make a pair of teeny tiny socks, give me a holler! I'd love to see them!
