The Rockpool Star socks – a cute seaside-themed trainer sock using a 5 mini skein set. The waves are crashing onto the shore and the starfish are relaxing in their rockpools. Rockpool Star is worked from the top down. Giddy Aunt Yarns have created this beautiful summery mini skein set in their BFL Twist base.
