This page from my sketchook shows a variation on the Chevron theme. My inspiration was geology and I later added zebras as they linked well visually with their 'organic' stripes.
Using regular black & white stripes would have been too regular & angular, so I tied together short lengths of yarns in different weights & textures and knitted a basic chevron pattern with the made-up yarn ball.
I was pleased with the result as it gave me the same feeling as the original images without exactly replicating them.
These images remind me of MISSONI knitting (if you don't know Missoni, look them up, it's a hugely influential Italian knitwear company)
They are in fact close up photos of the back of a curtain fabric sample book! Pinked edges make the zig-zags.
This could be a good starting point for developing designs knitted in zig-zag Chevron patterns ~ playing around with colour combinations and proportions.
