Previously at KB Stitchology, we learned how to create the Popcorn Stitch, which has a wonderfully double sided affect with its reverse side filled with interlocking hexagons. For this new technique we’ll learn a way to create those lovely hexagons on the front of our work! Of course, you could always simply work the Popcorn Stitch and turn your piece inside-out, but this month’s Waffle Stitch is created specially just for working it as the main stitch, with it’s own gauge and technique. I hope you enjoy! :)

Similar to the Popcorn Stitch, the Waffle Stitch is really very lovely on the reverse side too! This makes it perfect for scarves, blankets, and any type of project that could be seen from both sides.
