I love the Gulls and Garter stitch pattern. It's lovely and interesting, it looks good in both variegated and solid yarn, and it's fun to knit without being too difficult. As I mentioned, this would make a nice stitch pattern for kilt hose, and is done in multiples of 8 stitches, which works well for socks in general.
Cast on 41 stitches (or a multiple of 8 stitches plus one).
Rows 1-4: slip first stitch purlwise with yarn in front. *K1, P1*
Row 5: slip first stitch purlwise with yarn in front, k1, p1, k1. Work in pattern to last four stitches. *k1, p1* twice.
Continue until cloth is desired length. Work rows 1-4 again. Bind off in pattern, weave in ends, enjoy!
Gulls and Garter Pattern:
Rows 1 and 3 (wrong side): k2 *p5, k3* until last 2 stitches before border, k2.
Row 2: k2 *With yarn in front, slip 5 stitches purlwise, k3* until last 2 stitches before border, k2
Row 4: K4, *insert RH needle under strand 2 rows below, k next st on LH needle, drawing loop through st on needle and under strand in one motion, k7; rep from *, end last rep k4.
Here's how it comes out:
