    I've never seen it before, but it looks similar to seed stitch.

    No it is definately not seed stitch, it has got a bit of a twist, will have to take a photo outside as it is so dark here at the moment.....

    Simlar to a popcorn top, but somehow less "in-your-face". Very nice.

    My Mum uses a stitch similar to that for the kilt hose tops she knits for me. When I feel better I will try to get a pic for you.
    They are lovely hose, what a nice colour of green.

    Meg Swanson uses it in this video, but I can't find the stitch documented anywhere online.
