SOCKMAS 2024 // Winter Magic

Sockmas is an easygoing sock make-along with a goal of making a pair of wintry socks to wear during the season.

We’ll officially begin the day after American Thanksgiving (Friday, November 29th) and aim to finish a few days before Christmas (December 20th).

To keep with the gentle and enjoyable theme, there are no official rules or prizes. Just make socks that you love!

Grab the Winter Magic Sock pattern!

  • Sparkling colorwork paired with easy-going texture make these socks a fun treat for a gray winter’s day. The Winter Magic Socks are a collaboration with Coven Collective for Sockmas 2024.
