waffle weave stitch tutorial

Waffle weave

this makes a really nice wash cloth

(too bumpy for a doily)

two would make a good hot pad

**************************************************************

make a chain as long as you want

make a dc in the 3rd chain from the hook

and dc across the chain

ch3 and turn the work

2dc in first 2 stitches

1 fpdc in next dc

(a fpdc is made by

yo

put the hook into and behind the dc below

yo and finish the dc )

 

 

2 dc in next 2 dc

ch 3 turn

2 fpdc in first 2 dc

1 plain dc in next stitch

 

 

 

you are doing the opposite of the row below

2 fpdc

1 dc

all the way across

 

 

 

the back looks like this

 

 

 

you'll see the squares of the waffle begin on the front

 

 

keep doing this until your work is as big as you want it

 

 

 

and soon you will have a

WAFFLE

 

but no syrup on this one

unless you've spilled it!!!

I want to make a pillow with this stitch

but I'm afraid if I fall asleep on it

I'll

have

Waffle Cheeks

and

no one needs

Waffle Cheeks!!!
