Royal Gorge Socks

Discover the stunning beauty of the Royal Gorge, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the Arkansas River," nestled in the heart of Colorado. At its deepest point, the gorge plunges an impressive 1,250 feet, offering breathtaking views and awe-inspiring landscapes. The original bridge spanning this magnificent canyon began construction in June of 1929 and stood as the tallest suspension bridge in the world until 2001, making it a significant landmark in engineering history.

Introducing the Royal Gorge Sock Pattern, a creative and delightful project designed specifically for using up leftover yarn. This unique sock pattern features a distinctive slipped-in-front stitch technique that mimics the structure of suspension bridges, beautifully gathering stitches together to resemble lacy canyons. Each pair of socks not only showcases your knitting skills but also pays homage to the majestic landscape of the Royal Gorge.

The recommended yardage for this pattern is approximately 300 (320, 340) yards, depending on the size you choose to create. For my sample in size Large, I utilized Color A: 106 yards, Color B: 138 yards, and Color C: 88 yards. Keep in mind that your specific yardage may vary based on personal tension and individual knitting style.

This sock pattern has been professionally tech edited to ensure clarity and accuracy, making it suitable for knitters of various skill levels. Get ready to embark on a beautiful knitting journey that not only showcases your creativity but also honors one of Colorado's natural wonders.
