Need a refreshing indulgence for your sock needles? Playing with minis is both sweet and salty in these top-down shortie socks! Mix and match colors and experiment with speckles to create your very own concoction. Splashes of lace are sprinkled onto stockinette for a standout sock that flies off the needles. There’s no need to make them match, so the second sock just as fun to knit as the first. Enjoy some summer fun with this satisfying Margarita Mix!

ERRATA:
The original version of this pattern included incorrect instructions for the lace on sizes S and L/XL. There is no change to size M. This version (1.1) fixes the issue, beginning with the LEG portion on p.2. If you are knitting one of the affected sizes and did not have an issue on the leg lace, you can continue using the previous version.
