Triwizard Tournament Socks

Just as the Triwizard Tournament was designed for three champions, this slipped-stitch tweed pattern is designed to use three yarn colors. (If you like, you can fool the Goblet of Fire and throw in a fourth color for the cuff and toe just as Harry Potter unwittingly became the fourth champion!) This can also be a great stashbuster pattern - use up all of those bits of leftover sock yarn by changing colors as you wish.
