This is a very attractive pattern than I never really noticed before. Your swatch really brings out its beauty.

An interesting version of this pattern is used in Knitty’s Sherwood. It is a great sweater for boys. You will also find my version of it on my blog, when I get the time to finally blog about it. A swatch is there: http://filambulle.blogspot.com/2007/05/tkn-5.html

I agree with bluepeninsula. That is a very lovely pattern that I never really noticed before…..Now, why does it look like a sock pattern I’ve seen recently….
