So I moved on. With ruffle number 2 I chose an ombre crochet cotton. Much better! The sock above is going to have its ruffle removed and replaced with one like this one. It was easy to do. I just single crocheted into the top of the sock, all the way around, using a size 4 metal hook. I used the weave of the sock as a guide for where to put the stitches in so it would be even. The stitches were connected when the end of the round was reached. I then followed this stitch pattern...
Chain 3 (acts as a dc)
then dc in same sc.
Then 3 dc in next sc, and 2 dc in next sc... all the way around.
It's a good place to try fancy stitches, but that will be in later pairs.
Hopefully this is how the baby will feel about her new, embellished socks!

How do you attach the trim to the sock. I'm confused.
The sock is cute...
but not as cute as that pudge monster. :)
Awww... thanks!
I don't "attach" the trim... I work a round of single crochet right into the sock for the first row. I'll take pictures tomorrow and post.
So cute! The socks too! I love the socks idea!
