Crochet stitch inspiration needed

[Aparecium]

I’m making a cardigan along the lines of a hexagon cardie in one piece rather than two, and using Sirdar Jewelspun Aran. I’m making it up as I go along, doing 2-3 rows of granny, with 2-3 rows of something different in between. So far I’ve used Vs, alternating tc1 ch1, and a sort of ripple stitch. The Vs and the tc1 ch1 don’t really show up, but I love the ripple stitch rows.

So I’m looking for stitch inspiration. Something that will show up well, but be neither too 3-d (the yarn is already quite 3d) nor too lacy (the jumper will be heavy and will pull the lace in different directions in different places). The other challenge is that it has to fit within the height of a tc row to accommodate the corners, or even out to fit by the end of the pattern. I did that with the ripple rows, but it was a bit of a fudge.

Any suggestions?

Hopefully bumping.

I'd look for patterns using the specific yarn and see what stitches they use as a starting point. I've got a book of crochet stitches which is useful for this kind of thing.

Shell stitch is probably the obvious suggestion, but it is pretty solid and could get a bit lost with the colour changing yarn. Open shell stitch would be an alternative, although I don’t know how the height would work.

The site I’ve linked below has quite a few stitch patterns so might help with looking for inspiration.
