We return to knitting gum sock. To do this, we return to the left thread of milky color and the front half loops of the 6th row. We collect a chain of 5 CH, from the second we start knitting 4 SC, we connect with the help of SL-ST with the front half-loops of the 16th row, we make a CH rise, turn the knitting and knit 4 SC again for the zsp of the previous row. In this way, work 4 SC behind the ch in the turning rows until all the front half stitches of the 16th row are knitted. After you finish tying the sock elastic, use SL-ST to connect the sides of the elastic. Cut the thread, fasten and hide.
