The smocking on these socks is charming and amazingly stretchy. These socks will be snug on those chubby little legs, without being tight and uncomfortable.

I chose to knit these socks somewhat short, but they can be knit as long as you like in pattern. Because the ribbing is so stretchy, these socks will not be a problem getting over those little legs.

This does not include a tutorial on the smocking stitch, but it does include written instructions on how to do it. If you need further clarification there are several very good videos on youtube that can be helpful.
