The other sock will not match, exactly, because I don't think I have enough green yarn, but you'll see how it works out ...

I use these instructions, which I think are pretty good (although I think the first time I used them I had to go back and forth a lot to figure them out, but that's par for the course for me). The 'This is what you should have ...' steps were unfortunately not that helpful to me, because I wasn't sure what I was looking at, but I figured it out anyway.
