Pomatomus ?
 
Has anyone made these socks? I've finished the first repeat of Chart
A, and I'm hesitant to continue without clarification.

The pattern says after finishing Chart A, shift the 1st stitch from
needle 1 to needle 3 by knitting through the back loop onto Needle 3.
Do the same with needle 2 to needle 1, and with needle 3 to needle 2.
Then you go on to repeat Chart A 2 more times.

I wonder why you do this. Previously in the pattern there were YO's
at the ends of some repeats and at the beginning of some repeats,
which made the stitches shift around. If the purpose of moving the
stitches is to put them back in the original position, I did that as I
was knitting. If the purpose is to reposition the pattern, then I
haven't done that yet.

Also, the pattern doesn't clearly state what you do between these
stitch shifts. Do you start with row 1 of the chart, inserting ktbl's
at the beginning of each repeat? I have a feeling that there is a
simple answer, by my feeble brain can't figure it out.

Here's a link to the pattern, if you care to see it:

I figured it out. I'm going to post my own answer in case anyone else
runs into this problem.

After finishing the first repeat of Chart A, you ktbl the first stitch
of needle one onto and with needle 3. This repositions the pattern.
You continue through row 1 of Chart A, and whenever you get to the
last stitch (a ktbl) you knit it from the next needle onto the needle
you're working with.

This pattern is frustrating me a little bit, but I think I've got this
part of it under control.

It refers to a genus of fish:
"The finished socks are reminiscent of blue-green fish scales hence
the name Pomatomus, the genus of the blue fish...."
- http://www.knitty.com/issuewinter05/PATTpomatomus.html

Dictionary definition:
pompanos = "Any of several marine food fishes of the genus
Trachinotus, especially T. carolinus, of tropical and temperate
Atlantic waters, having a silvery oblong body with a bluish back."

Mirjam,

There is a sock pattern called Pomatomus. The word Pomatomus refers
to the genus of some kind of blue fish, and the sock designer thought
her color choice and the scale pattern fit the word. Here's a link to
the pattern. Sorry about the confusion:

Both. The pattern model uses a variegated blue yarn (sort of like the
colours of a polished Paua shell if you know what that is, I think the
rest of the world might call Paua Abalone). And the pattern is like
scales.
