Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight, multicolor gradient yarn
• Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 24 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in single crochet (sc)
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cuff

1. Begin with a magic ring. To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center.
2. Chain 2 (this does not count as a stitch). Work 10 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring.
3. Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) into the first single crochet. Pull the magic ring tight to close it.

2. Leg

1. Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Work 1 single crochet in each stitch around the cuff.
2. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to complete the round.
3. Repeat this round for a total of 20 rounds. Change colors every 4 rounds to create a gradient effect. To change colors, simply finish the last single crochet of the round with the new color yarn.

3. Heel

1. Work in rows for the heel. Chain 1 and turn your work.
2. Single crochet in the next 15 stitches. Turn your work.
3. Work 10 rows in single crochet for the heel flap. Remember to chain 1 and turn your work at the end of each row.

4. Turn Heel

1. To turn the heel, single crochet 2 together (sc2tog) for the first stitch, then single crochet across the remaining stitches.
2. At the end of the row, single crochet 2 together again. Repeat this process until you have 5 stitches remaining.

5. Foot

1. Continue working in rounds. Chain 1 and single crochet in each stitch around the heel.
2. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. Work for 30 rounds or until you reach your desired foot length.

6. Toe

1. To shape the toe, single crochet 2 together at the beginning and end of each round.
2. Continue this process until you have 10 stitches remaining.
3. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
