It’s always fun to knit socks, and I usually like to try out new ideas to make them more interesting - especially if it makes the self-striping sock yarn stand out in an interesting manner. And since I really like to work with short rows, here’s another way to use them for socks - to create a diagonal stripe.

Please not, that this is NOT a complete row-by-row knitting pattern, but a rough sketch to enable you to knit a similar pair for yourself. It assumes that you have a good idea of how to knit socks and especially that you know how to do a heel.
