Cape Split, Nova Scotia is a magnificent headland whose cliffs rise over 200 feet above the waters of the Bay of Fundy. Forests cover most of this majestic “scorpion tail” jut of land but its meadowland tip offers visitors spectacular panoramic views.

The twists for these top-down socks echo the forests and meadows of their name-sake. Cables are all 1 over 1 crosses but some patterning happens every round.

Stitch patterns are written and charted.
