I could not resist making a pair of socks in honor of
this drink, and I welcome you to join me in making vibrant orange Aperol Spritz. However, maybe red wine is more to your taste,
in which case use a dark claret red contrast color! Or perhaps you prefer a martini, in green, or how about some light pink glasses
for some rosé? Whatever drink or cocktail you prefer (with or without alcohol!), I hope you enjoy making these party time socks.

These socks are knit from the top down. Knit with only two colors per round, this sock has a repeating drinks motif that starts from the top of the leg and repeats throughout the foot.
The socks start with a ribbed cuff and feature a short row heel. Stitches are decreased for the toe and then grafted together.
