Knit with Aabhar – Overlapping Waves Stitch Pattern
Pattern Description
Overlapping Waves Stitch Pattern looks just like the way its name suggests; the stockinette vertical waves are slightly overlapping. It almost appears like waves extending upwards in vertical panels with eyelets separating them.
It is a beginner-friendly pattern, using basic knitting stitches such as knits, purls, yarn over, and slip slip knit (ssk) stitch.
This wavy stitch pattern is perfect for making blankets or light wearables like shawls and wraps without making them overly lacy. You can even knit a fancy beanie with Overlapping Waves Stitch to make it a bit more elegant than usually ribbed beanies.
