Closed Wave Stitch (Diagram 1):
We begin the closed wave stitch by working a row of small upright stitches. Bring the needle up at A, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at P. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Closed Wave Stitch (Diagram 2):
This is where the wave stitches are added. The wave stitches are illustrated in light blue. Bring the needle up at A, move the needle/yarn UNDER the upright stitch (but not under the canvas), bring the needle down and UNDER the canvas at B. Once the needle/yarn have moved under B, bring the needle up and continue up to C. Repeat this process until the end of the row. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Closed Wave Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how the second row of closed wave stitches should be worked into the first row. This row would be worked in the opposite direction of the first row.
