Eye of Partridge STITCH OPTIONS

On this pair of socks for a friend, I decided to see how many variations I could do with the "eye of partridge" stitch. 
Its a 4 row pattern
== K . SLIP . K . SLIP
== knit across (if in Round!) Purl across if front and back
== SLIP . K . SLIP . K
== knit across (if in Round!) Purl across if front and back
____________ that's it, that's the "pattern".
As usual,  I need to push it and explore ALL the options this stitch offers. 
By using 2 colors I think you can get all the info needed, to make a choice for your special project.

  2. How does the Modified Eye of Partridge affect the stitch count for making socks? Just wondering how many extra stitches need to be added per row.
