Inspired by the picture of the Valley of Rocks in Devon, I designed this sock (originaly with JA Exmoor sock) for the Summer of Socks 2022 of Wol met Verve. The sock is worked from top down with a heel that is worked after the toe is finished. Written for two sizes. The fair isle pattern is charted. Left and right are the same.
