This pattern is designed to use a main color skein and a combination of contrast colors to make textured stripes on the leg. There is a lot of flexibility in this pattern, do as many stripes as you desire, mix up your colors, use up that last bit of precious yarn. When I heard the name of the sock set, Kay’s Crazy Cauldron sock set, I immediately thought of a potion dripping out of a witch’s cauldron.
