One of the greatest satisfactions of crochet is being able to make something amazing from a skein of string. The textures that can be obtained from different points or the combinations between them are amazing. Waffle stitch doesn’t disappoint when it comes to texture. The stitch has an average level to be done, it’s not a lot of work, but you should pay attention at the time of the loops.
Waffle Stitch is a super soft, wonderfully textured, perfect for baby items. A series of double crochets and double crochets from the previous column compose the waffle stitch. Let’s alternate two lines back and forth, each line repeating a set of points in multiples of three. The waffle pattern looks great on a variety of yarns in different thicknesses.
