The sofa socks are the ideal companion to wear when your having a night in on the couch. The fit of the Sofa’s is a bit looser than with regular socks so you can put them over your daily wear socks. Because they are not directly intended as hiking socks, you can make them in many types of yarn. The warmer, the better!
The socks are worked toe up, with a German short row heel. The length of the foot and the length can ofcourse be adjusted to your own preference/size.
