Here are the smocked socks from my last journal entry.
I am going to just barely scratch the surface on how to smock sock in this journal entry, since I took so many pictures, however, I will post a link to a much more detailed tutorial that I created that I hope you will find very beneficial.
Supplies needed: floche or embroidery floss
ribbed socks & #9 embroidery needles
Using a water or air-soluble marker, mark 2 rows in the center of the ribbed cuff on the sock.
Using the ribbing as the pleats, begin with an up cable on row 1.
Working Baby Waves, carry the needle to the next pleat mid-way
between row 1 and 2 and work a down cable.
Carry the needle back up to row 1 and work an up cable
Continue working the baby wave across row 1, then work
a 2nd row across row 2
Once completed it should look like this!
These smocked socks look so cute with a pair of
Add some lace to the edge of some smocked socks for girls!
Add a pretty bullion rose and these smocked socks

SUPER Job!!! I need to do some more of these I just need to find a source for the nylon type of socks, my Walmart doesn't carry them any more. I will do silk ribbon roses on the side instead f buillin rses.
Thanks for the picture.
How neat! Thanks so much.
A very cute and useful lesson. And you know, I never even thought about sewing the lace on by machine. The time I might have saved!! Thank you. Your pictures make me want to make a pair!! This time with lace sewn on by machine.
I just cannot believe how cute these smocked socks are. From now on I will make some for my granddaughter's dresses.
Muy bonito.

How precious are these?? So sweet and just a perfect baby gift. :)
Now when I think I have seen it all. I think this is so nifty. I cant smock on pleated fabric but I wonder if this would work? Thank you for posting this.
i love these socks! i used to make them for my miss21 when she was little. I didn't put lace on, but i did bead them which made for a nice variation.
Where do you find the socks? Cutest idea I have seen in a long time. Thanks !!
