31/03/24: The pattern has been updated to be needle neutral and a Low Vision Large Print version has been uploaded.

Inspired by William Wordsworth’s poem ‘Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey’ (1798) and a magnificent panoramic view of the beautiful Grampians in Western Victoria, Australia. Out on a ride one day, we came over a crest and were presented with the most stunning view of the Grampian ranges, rising up out of the plains. A view worthy to inspire this design.

These stranded colour work socks are worked toe up with a heel flap and gusset.

The instructions for the construction of the socks are written and the colour work pattern is both written and charted.

A low vision accessible version of this pattern is also available. It includes 24 point Arial all black text, no italics, no columns or tables, and fully written instructions. There is a chart included, but the chart is not needed to complete the pattern.
