Another highly textured pattern can be created with some slipped stitches. It gives a lovely basket weave effect on one side and a slight honeycomb diamond pattern on the reverse.
The pattern is worked over 8 rows. I found it courtesy of knitca.com where it doesn't have a name so I've called it the Basketweave Stitch
The trick with this one is to be very loose when carrying the yarn behind or in front with the 3 slipped stitches.

Row 1 (right side): *p2, k1*, to last 2 sts, p2.
Row 2 (wrong side): *k2, p1*, to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 3 (right side): p1, *sl 3 wyif, p1, k1, p1*, to last 4 sts, sl 3 wyif, p1.
Row 4 (wrong side): k1, sl 3 wyib, *k1, p1, k1, sl 3 wyib*, to last st, k1.
Row 5 (right side): *p2, k1*, to last 2 sts, p2.
Row 6 (wrong side): *k2, p1*, to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 7 (right side): p1, *p1, k1, p1, sl 3 wyif*, to last 4 sts, p1, k1, p2.
Row 8 (wrong side): k2, p1, k1, *sl 3 wyib, k1, p1, k1*, to last st, k1.

When I have a few spare minutes I really enjoy picking up some needles and an odd bit of yarn from the stash and experimenting with different kinds of stitches. One afternoon I got thoroughly hooked on playing with some simple patterns using twisted stitches. I have 3 different patterns in the photo below, all based on using a cast on of an even number of stitches and a pattern of 4 rows.

The bottom stitch I will call the Knit Twist. It is worked as follows:

Row 1: *K2tog, leave stitches on LH needle, twist to right and reknit first stitch slipping both stitches off needle*
Row 2: Knit
Row 3: K1, *K2tog as before, twisting to right to reknit first stitch to last stitch* K1
Row 4: Knit

The second stitch I will call the Purl Twist. Work as follows:

Row 1: *P2tog, leave stitches on LH needle, twist to right and purl first stitch again, slip stitches off needle*
Row 2: Knit
Row 3: P1, *P2tog as before, twisting to right to purl first stitch again as before,  to last stitch* K1
Row 4: Knit

The third stitch I will call the Bias Knit Twist. Work as follows:

Row 1: *K2tog, leave stitches on LH needle, twist to right and reknit first stitch slipping both stitches off needle*
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K1, *K2tog as before, twisting to right to reknit first stitch to last stitch* K1
Row 4: Purl
The effect of purling every alternate row is to give the pattern a lovely bias slant to the right.

Note that the knitting or purling 2 together and then twisting to reknit (or purl) the first stitch gives a highly dense, textured effect which would be ideal for a wintry scarf, afghan, blanket or cushion cover.  It is a workout for the fingers. The reverse side has a garter stitch look:
