Welcome! I’m so excited that you have decided to take part in my first ever MKAL (mystery knit-a-long) sock design. This is a stranded colorwork sock design that also requires a small amount of duplicate stitch (although some of it will be optional).

This MOCK (Mystery sock) was designed for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group here on Ravelry. They are hosting this mystery knit-a-long as part of their Sockdown 19 for July/August 2026.

This design will release in four parts.
Clue 1: July 1, 2026
Clue 2: July 8, 2026
Clue 3: July 15, 2026
Clue 4: July 22, 2026

The info pages are available immediately. They have information on the yarn and supplies needed, abbreviations, guidance on choosing a size and colors, and my standard tips for stranded colorwork. There are also links in the tips section for three tutorial videos for techniques I use when knitting stranded colorwork socks. If you are unfamiliar with these techniques, I recommend viewing these videos ahead of time. These videos are not specific to these socks, so they will give nothing away about the design. Then later you can return to the parts of the videos that you need while knitting the socks.
