I designed this pattern for Noro yarns, but it also works well with other self-striping yarns such as Lion Brand Amazing or Lang Mille Colori.

It is easy, but effective and is suitable for a patient novice knitter, but should also be interesting enough for a more advanced knitter.

The pattern can be adapted to any weight of yarn, but suggested stitch counts are given for sock and aran weight.

Many thanks to the test knitters for their feedback and photos:
