Self striping yarn is fun to knit, fun to look at, and fun to wear, but it can be a challenge to knit with without losing a pattern. Bob White is a simple cabled pattern that doesn’t fight with the color changes, but would also look great in a tonal or solid! This uses a planned afterthought heel to take full advantage of the striping pattern.
