Welcome to the details behind my current favourite stitch. The waffle stitch is a soft, squishy pattern that adds loads of texture to projects. You’ll see this used in blankets or kitchen dishcloths. It is a simple 2 row repeat but it is the front post double crochet that bring this pattern to life. Take a look and try it out yourself!
