Graveyard Fields is a hiking trail off the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are two waterfalls fed by the Yellowstone Prong and is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was called Graveyard Fields when there was a huge storm hundreds of years ago that toppled trees and left tree stumps that looked like gravestones. In 1925, there was a huge fire that burned the area and the forest is reclaiming the area.

These are toe-up socks with a textured pattern. I use a rounded toe and give instructions for a German short row heel but you can use any toe or heel construction that you prefer. The yardage may vary depending on how long you make the leg length. The textured pattern is given in chart form.
