open wave stitch is worked on top of a trame stitch. For a more interesting effect, try using different colors for this stitch. The closed wave stitch is similar to knitting. Both of these wave stitches are looped stitches and not very durable. Multiple diagrams have been used to demonstrate each of these stitches. Clicking on the PRINTABLE VERSION icon, located at the end of the series of diagrams, will direct you to the page to print these instructions.
