3 sox 1 pattern -- KIDZ

This pattern will cover 3 styles of socks parts are interchangeable with each sock. I will give the basics so you can create you own custom made sock.
The 3 styles I have are:
* Ankle sock
* Crew sock
* Tube sock
Tools:
fingering weight yarn (330-660 yds)
(pictured is lion brand magic stripes (1-2 skeins)
3.5mm crochet hook (or to gauge)
1 stitch marker
Gauge:
7 st=1"
Directions:
CUFF...
*****************************
*Crew sock cuff
ch 49
sc into 2nd ch from hook and sc to end, ch1, turn
*sc into back loop of first sc and each sc to end, ch1, turn
repeat from * until your cuff measures 6 inches long
join
to join bring up beginning ch edge to meet the back loop of working edge.
Sc into back loops of working edge AND into ch edge at the same time.
Sc to end, ch2

Now you will begining working in rounds
hdc around entire cuff 48
do not join when you reach beg...
Start sc in beg hdc and sc around 4 more times
Begin HEEL...
(need heel help? See HERE)
*********************************
*Ankle and tube sock cuff
ch 9
sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch to end, ch1, turn
sc into the back loop of each [8] sc, ch1, turn
continue to sc into the back loop of each sc, ch1, turn
until your cuff measures 6 inches
to join your cuff hold the beginning ch edge behind next row to be worked
(remember your beg tail with me at the TOP of the cuff [I use this as my marker])
and work blsc pattern until you are at the end (8 blsc), chain 1
One the bottom edge of the cuff hdc into the cuff 48 times around.
Join to first hdc with a sl st to join , ch1
sc around the sock 4 times (for this you will not need to sl to join each new round).
Now choose which style you will continue from this point....
*ANKLE sock
When you reach the beg. After 4th round is worked
start short row heel.

you will now be on RightSide with 48 sts
Do NOT turn
Continue to FOOT
********************************
FOOT (all):
* ANKLE & CREW socks
After you complete your last row of the heel begin working in rounds (do not join at each beg stitch, but always remember to mark it) continue working in rounds until your sock measures 2 inches shorter than the wearers foot.

Proceed to toe shaping.
*TUBE sock

keep working sc in rounds (no need to join each round) you now can decide how long you want to make your entire sock.
*for example my sons foot (pictured) is 7.5" long so I made the sock 5.5" from the heel, then started the toe

skip heel directions and proceed to toe shaping directions:
****************************************
TOE SHAPING
(similar to heel)
at beg ch1, turn, sc in next 24
row 2: ch1, sc in next 23
and repeat in same fashion as heel until you have 10 sts
This will create a short rowed cup style toe.
After you complete the increase rows turn the sock inside out and slip stitch the 2 sides together.
Or you may sew them together if this is your preference.
