Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches x 14 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 2. This will be the foundation of your sock.
2. Round 1: Work 12 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. You should have a total of 24 stitches at the end of this round. Join with a sl st.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* and repeat this pattern around. You will have 36 stitches at the end of this round. Join with a sl st.
5. Continue Working in Rounds: Keep crocheting in rounds until the sock measures 6 inches from the heel. Make sure to check your measurement to ensure a good fit.
6. Work the Heel: To create the heel, work back and forth in rows for 10 rows. This will give your sock a comfortable fit around the heel.
7. Shape the Toe: To shape the toe, decrease evenly by working *sc2tog* (single crochet two together) until you have 6 stitches remaining. This will create a tapered end for your sock.
8. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in the ends using a yarn needle to secure your work and tidy up any loose strands.
9. Create the Ribbed Cuff: Chain 10 and join to form a circle. Work in the back loop only for 5 rounds to create a ribbed effect.
10. Attach the Cuff: Finally, attach the ribbed cuff to the top of the sock and secure it with a slip stitch. This will give your socks a finished look and keep them snug on your ankles.

Congratulations! You've just completed your very own pair of cozy ankle socks. Enjoy wearing them or gifting them to someone special!
