The Smock O'Clock socks are a joyful blend of structure and stitch play. Knitted top-down, they begin with a crisp twisted rib cuff that flows into a beautifully sculpted gather smock stitch along the leg and foot. The smocked texture even continues into the Heel Flap, creating a cohesive and eye-catching design from top to toe.

The pattern includes photo and video tutorials to guide you through the smock stitch, making it both approachable and fun to knit. You can also easily customize the leg and foot length by working more repeats or stopping early for a shorter fit.

Designed for one color of fingering weight sock yarn, these socks are a perfect match for West Wool HEX, whose smooth structure and stitch definition let the texture shine.
