Knot stitch yarn weight recommendations

I’m going to try knot stitch (P1,K1P1 w/o slipping to right) for a kindle cover. Is there a yarn weight recommendation? I looked at 3 but worry it won’t have enough ‘bulk’ as a Kindle cover. I want the knots to be well defined and worry they’ll get lost in a heavier weight. I’ll be using solid color yarn and am considering doing the knots in a contrasting color. Thinking 2 no-knot stockinette rows between knot rows with a top and bottom band of 4-6 rows in the opposite color pattern

I’d try some worsted weight yarn to see how it works up. From that swatch I could decide to try something different or go with worsted.

I wish I’d remembered to take a photo! The cover turned out nice for a first go at this pattern - and it was well liked by the recipient. Thank you for such specific help!
