Repeat Step 2 for desired number of Fsc.
Ldc (linked double crochet): Insert hook in center (horizontal) bar of the last st (or the 2nd ch of beginning ch-3) and draw up a loop (2 loops on hook); insert hook in next st and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook); [yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice.

Gauge Swatch
Ch 32.
Row 1: Ldc in 4th ch from hook (beginning ch counts as first dc), ldc in each remaining ch across – 30 ldc.
Rows 2–17: Ch 3 (counts as first ldc), turn, ldc in each st across.
Resulting gauge swatch should measure 4” x 4”.

Notes: Crocheted socks have little negative ease. Try it on as you go. Sock is worked from the toe to ankle. Toe is worked in continuous rounds; do not join or turn at the end of rounds. The foot is worked in joined rounds without turning. The toe, foot, and ankle are worked in one piece, and an opening is created for the heel. After the rest of the sock is complete, the heel is worked into the opening.
Sock (make 2)
Toe
Ch 10.
Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 7 ch, 3 sc in last ch; place stitch marker in center sc of 3-sc group just made; pivot to work long opposite side of foundation ch, sc in next 7 ch, 2 sc in last ch; place stitch marker in the 2nd sc of 2-sc group just made); do not join – 20 sc.
Round 2: [Sc in each st to next marker, 3 sc in marked st] twice – 24 sc.
Rounds 3–8: Repeat Round 2 – 48 sc. Do not fasten off.
Try on your toe. It should be almost wide enough to fit around the widest part of your foot. Work an extra round or two if necessary. A little snugness is good at this point because the change in stitch pattern for the foot adds a little bit of ease.
