Description

The wave stitch is a beautiful decorative stitch pattern created with elongated stitches. In this video, Michele Lee Bernstein demonstrates how to knit the wave stitch.

This stitch pattern is worked over 4 rows, with a multiple of 6 stitches plus 1 stitch on the knitting needle. For the swatch in the video, Michele has 25 stitches and is working back and forth in rows. She works the stitch pattern, double-wrapping and triple-wrapping the yarn around the needle as she’s working the right side rows.

  • KW2: Double wrap knit by knitting the next stitch, wrapping yarn twice around the needle
  • KW3: Triple wrap knit by knitting the next stitch, wrapping yarn 3 times around the needle

On the wrong side rows of the pattern, the stitches are simply knit. Any stitches with additional wraps are worked as a regular knit stitch, dropping the additional wraps. The next right side row of the pattern is worked, with the pattern being offset. This causes the wave pattern to undulate on the fabric.
