Let's Get Textural

This is the third in a series of posts recommending patterns for self-striping sock yarns.  We are saying goodbye to ONline sock yarns in the Online ONline Summer Sock-Stravaganza.  Join us!

You have to be careful when choosing textural designs for self-striping sock yarns.  Some will highlight the color changes while others will be overwhelmed.  Here are two I think work nicely.

For knitting, the high-relief structure of the Circle Socks provides the perfect backdrop for fun color changes.

For crochet, we have the Vee Socks for Me Socks, which have a nice, all-over texture.

Here are some pictures of other projects on Ravelry where you can see  how they look with striping yarn.
