Unwind this summer with a knitted sock project! Whether you're on holiday or enjoying a relaxing staycation at home, this portable project is perfect for creating comfy socks, wherever you are. TheSummer Sock-A-Long, created by Carmen of New Leaf Designs, designer of the 2020 Cosy Moments MAL and 2022 Sassenach KAL, showcases a vibrant sock project for intermediate knitters and adventurous beginners.

Depending on skill level, participants have the option to knit this toe-up design one-at-a-time or as a pair, using circular needles and the magic loop method.

Every MAL week starts on Wednesday around noon CEST. In addition to the support in our Official Facebook Group(s), Carmen will share detailed video- and photography her website.
