The Rose Rambler socks are reminiscent of rambling roses which are a joy to see in bloom over the summer months. The pattern features a simple lace motif which keeps you wanting to get to the next stripe, and the next, and the next! They were designed with mini skeins in mind, but would also work wonderfully with self-striping yarn.
