Note:  The yellow sample made is just for illustrative purposes only in order to show the steps.  I did not do the full foot, leg or cuff just to save a bit of time and so it would fit my 4 year old.

Make Toe and Foot:
Rd 1: Ch 6, 1 sc in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 sc in next 3 st, 3 sc in last st.  Rotate your work and continue to crochet down the other side of the ch.  1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in first worked ch, sl st in first sc of round to join. (Right side). (12)

Rd 2: Ch 1 turn, 2 sc in next 2 st, 1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next 3 st, 1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next st, sl st in first sc of round to join. (18)

Rd 3: Ch 1 turn, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 st, (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) 3 times, 1 sc in next 3 st, (1sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) twice, sl st in first sc of round to join. (24)
