The third pattern in our Sock of the Month “National Parks Series”!

Inspired by the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park, the Fern and Forest Socks have a simple and lovely fern lace pattern that runs up the top of the foot and continues up the front of the leg bordered on either side by a delicate cable braid. Turn the sock around and you find a beautiful tree made of easy-to-knit bobbles that give the fabric a remarkable nubbly texture.
