Waffle Stitch Variation
I call this Waffle Stitch Variation
This special stitch is a variation of another the Waffle stitch.
Of course you can make this as long as you want. This would make a lovely scarf using this many stitches with yarn. Or you could start with a longer starting ch and make placemats. Or you can go to the two patterns in this month's newsletter and make a coaster and a dishcloth. What ever you do, have fun.
The instructions below are for using one color or varigated yarn. But for variety, try using two different colors for a very striking effect Changing the color after completeing every even numbered row.
It is best to start this pattern stitch with a sc foundation row.
You will need to ch a multiple of 4 sts +3.
To make a sample swatch.
