Hmm . I must be dense. Looked at latest Knitty and couldn't find
anything mentioning RPM - is there a secret code here???

I have just been using a koigu sock pattern though I am going down one
size on needles next time as DH says he wants them a little snugger.

It's the stitch pattern, makes these little squares that the edges
of the squares puff up and the middle is indented like a waffle that
you eat.

Hi Mirjam here is the pattern online for it showing the pic,

it gives the impression of the little dimples that you get in waffles.

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

LOL I've used this pattern over and over again, I spin my own dyed and
varigated yarns and the waffle pattern seems to go so nicely with it. I've
done them in Aran weight wool too, for wellington boot socks lovely and
chunky for this purpose.
