Openwork
Cable & wave stitch
Cables that look like braids lie over a zigzag openwork background. Together they form a richly textured, airy fabric. In one color it has a traditional look, and in several colors a lively, playful one.
🌸
In fingering or sport weight yarn, the stitch makes stylish garments and accessories, and in DK weight, warm, cozy blankets and home decor items. Suitable for intermediate crocheters.

Openwork bobble stitch
The contrast between dimensional bobbles and airy openwork makes this stitch very expressive and richly textured. The stitch looks good in one color or several, and two colors bring out the staggered arrangement of the bobbles 🏵️
