TIP

Liven Up Your Waves

You can easily enliven all these waves by changing where you insert the

hook. Try changing the patterns by doing one row in the front loop of all the

stitches and in the back loop on the next row. You will get very defined lines

on each row, highlighting the wave. Try going between the stitches instead

of the top loops, or spike every few stitches; each will change the wave

slightly. You can get many more patterns than the ones shown just by mak-

ing these simple changes.
