I designed these socks because I couldn’t quite find the perfect toe-up chevron sock pattern. I came across this amazing yarn on vacation this spring and had to cast on immediately. My husband and I spent a few days driving Highway 101 and camping in the best spots we could find. Near Crescent City, a wonderful park ranger told us to camp up Flint Ridge, saying that we would get lovely views of the ocean, and that we’d be camping in the Redwoods. These socks are named after that magical place, it was the best campsite we had on the whole trip! The toe on the sock beginning with green makes me think of the majestic redwood forests, and the blue one, of the ocean and sand.

This yarn is self striping, so there was no changing colors to get the striped effect. However, if you want to stripe your socks, just change colors every 5 rows and you will get a similar effect.

Happy knitting!
