Fox and Hound takes the classic houndstooth pattern and renders it in mosaic slip stitch, two colors, one at a time.

The diagonal interlocking shapes are a visual trick: each row uses only one color, but the slipped stitches carry the pattern across rows to create that signature woven look.

Like all slip stitch colorwork, the elongated stitches give the fabric a subtle raised texture, with the pattern sitting just above the surface.

The result feels tailored and graphic, a serious pattern wearing spring colors.
