Your favorite girl needs a skirt to twirl and play, but what could be better than matching her friend? This Emerald Cove pair will fly off your needles and is sure to bring a smile to your little friends! Pair a pack of mini- skeins (this version uses SweetGeorgia’s Party of Five) with a matching solid color in a sock yarn and you are guaranteed to have a colorful party! You could even use leftover bits of sock yarn in colors of your choice, or mini-skeins that you might have been saving for something special.
