Bring a touch of seaside magic to your knitting with the Puffins on Parade socks. Inspired by the cheerful charm of puffins perched along rocky cliffs, this design captures the spirit of the coast in a bright, joyful colourwork pattern. A parade of puffins waddles playfully around the ankle, framed by an optional contrasting cuff, heel, and toe that make each pair unique to you.

Knit from the top down using beautifully soft Drops Nord, these socks are cosy, lightweight, and perfect for everyday wear. The stranded colourwork design is worked in four contrasting shades, creating a striking and charming effect that truly makes the puffins stand out. With clear charts and instructions, this pattern is ideal for knitters who enjoy a creative challenge — especially those looking to build confidence in managing long floats and multi-colour motifs.

Available in five sizes (XS–XL), the Puffins on Parade socks can be tailored to fit a variety of feet. Whether you prefer bold, high-contrast hues or soft, natural tones inspired by coastal landscapes, the design offers endless opportunities for personalisation.
