Q: What if I stitch or glue 3 socks together... Can I do masah on them as I do on one thick socks? Of course it will be stitched only at the places of stitching, it will not become 1 thick sock but three layers of socks stitched or glued together.

A: Since they do not have the characteristics of the moza, masah upon them will not be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
