I used worsted and garter stitch; they are quite stretchy.

I like the idea of jout stockinette but I've got a pile of projects in front of me so I may never actually get to it. The biggest problem is that they take quite a long time to knit. The last couple pairs I've done I've just done a single wrap instead of twice around.
