Someone sent me these directions for trimming knit gloves. I suppose you could use the same principle to trim socks.

1 pair commercially-knit gloves
1 ball eyelash-yarn (similar to Fun Fur)
Small amount sport-weight yarn to match glove
Size D and H hooks

With size D hook and sport-weight, poke crochet hook through top edge of glove cuff approx. 1/4" from edge, and single crochet evenly around cuff. Join and fasten off sport-weight. Change to size H hook and join eyelash yarn. Sc in each sc around, join with slip stitch. Ch 1, sc around, join with slip stitch. Rep last round for 2-1/2" or desired length. Fasten off, weave in ends. Fold cuff over top of glove.

I would be very careful of using any kind of beads on a baby item. Remember, if a baby can get it in their mouth, they will. And babies are flexible, my daughter used to suck her toes, much to the disgust of her elder stepsister.
