This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

Use 8 of your leftover sock yarns to create striped scrappy socks using the numbers of prime!

This pattern is best for sock knitters who have a set of favorite toes/heels/cuffs/etc and are comfortable plugging in a pattern. It is written from a toe-up perspective.

Errata: In version 1, the cuffs should be knit in color 8 (a surprise/incorrect color 9 is mentioned in the pattern). Corrected in Version 2. Optionally, you can continue making prime stripes for the cuffs.
