I’m in the process of knitting another pair of socks using the same Berroco Comfort yarn. By knitting with the two different balls of yarn at the same time, the yarn goes much farther. Plus each 100-gram ball consists of 447 yards which is plenty for one pair of socks let alone two.
I knew I wanted to obscure the bold striping pattern again in the Beach House color and try something different from the other eight pairs I knit in the past. I tried Hermione’s Everyday sock pattern and it’s a great pattern but there was not enough texture/mixing up for me with this yarn.
So I played with the knit and purl sequence and came up with this pattern. It might already exist in the textured stitch world but here it is:
The subdued Hari Hari color was used for the odd rounds and Beach House for the even. The striping sequence is still prominent but the texture adds another dimension.
I like it.
If you’ve seen or used this textured stitch and know the name of it, do tell in the comments.

These look cosy and comfy – love the colours. Always impressed with someone who can use double ended needles or circular needles – they are beyond my standard of knitting.

Try it. Double-pointed needles are not hard to use and I prefer them over circular ones. Start with a hat in the round and worsted weight yarn as the fine yarn and tiny needles used for socks might test your resolve.

Great way to get more pattern with self-striping yarns! I did a similar sort of thing when I was using up some leftovers and love the results. But it never occurred to me to do this right from the start… Clever!

I’m sure they would but they are promised to someone else…but I’ll keep your feet in mind for another pair.

Thank you. Do you know what this textured stitch is called or should I make up a name for it myself?

I don’t know if it has a name! You could always make one up until you find it out, if that happens.

You have some serious knitting skills. I am still working on trying to keep the yarn on the needles.

Have you tried wooden needles? They aren’t very slippery and tend to hold onto the yarn. That’s a good thing…and a bad thing.
