ISO sock pattern recs for self-striping and variegated sock yarns

Laura J · 2006-10-04T20:41:04+00:00

Thanks to some evil enabling (by Michelle, I think?) I am now the proud owner of 8 skeins of self-striping and 2 skeins of variegated sock yarn. I don't want to make just plain old stockinette socks but I have had bad luck in the past with finding patterns that go well with this type of yarn. I find that the colors really mask the stitch definition so that neither the yarn nor the pattern is shown off to its best effect.Does anyone have any recs for patterns that might work? I have seen a pair of striped Jaywalkers that turned out nicely so I may try that one but that still leaves me in search of 4 other patterns.So please let me know which patterns you've liked. Free or paid, book or individual, all recs are welcome! Thanks!Cheers,LauraJ

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I will have to sit down and check them all out when I have some time (which is obviously in short supply since I posted this request 5 days ago and just got back now!). I am so impressed with how eager you all were to satisfy my craving to knit striped socks! :D

Cheers, LauraJ
