If this technique has a name other than "textured knitting" I have not come across it, but I really love it! Using just knit and purl stitches with no other techniques, here are two patterned scarfs.

| hearts design in Lipstick red |

| tumbling blocks/slanted squares in bulky alpaca blend |
This reminds me a bit of filet crochet (open vs. filled block) which I've also recently tried my hook on and enjoy. The stone-grey alpaca blend scarf is finished, and intended for Mom. With three skeins off the clearance shelf, I got a scarf 9-1/2 inches wide by 56 inches long.
The hearts in red I am also doing in a clearance shelf yarn, three skeins of Bamboo Ewe which did not impress me when I tried to granny-square crochet it, and it definitely didn't impress me when I tried a small cable design ... but in just a solid-stitch k-p project, it becomes beautiful and perfect. I am still on the first skein of this.
