Sofa Surfers are the perfect comfy soft sock for surfing the sofa with a good book and a cup of something warming. A winter/slovenly alternative to hurling about the waves actually surfing at one of Norfolks top surfing destinations such as Runton or Cromer.

They make the perfect project for those lengthening evenings easing you into autumn.

These Sofa Surfer socks are worked cuff down. The easy cable and rib pattern is worked as a continuation of the uneven rib cuff. Length can be as long or as short as you like to keep your toes warm when you’re cosying up for the afternoon or evening at home. The cable pattern is worked using twisted stitches and the heel using german short rows (or double stitch). These techniques make for an uncomplicated knit with just a pinch of spice to warm things up.

Knitted in Norfolk Horn yarn in natural and hand dyed using traditional plant dyes proudly produced in Norfolk.
