The Back Loops Wave Stitch is very similar to a regular crochet wave stitch. The significant difference is that every other row, you will use the back loops only. This causes the waves to lift up from each other for a three dimensions textured look.

I figured out the math to make this stitch in different sizes.

Mikey

Mikey, aka Michael Sellick, of The Crochet Crowd, started this online journey back in 2008. A mere hobby in trying to reach out to others as he was mentally struggling with his own issues. His goal was simple, find others in the yarn communities, like him, that have a common interest.

The journey and main baby of the whole idea started with a YouTube Channel and then in 2011, an official website was developed. Michael is not only the face of The Crochet Crowd but also the working engine behind the crowd in self-taught programming, social media and so much more.

Enjoy the stitching journey. Life is short, enjoy this wonderful hobby and all of the learning opportunities that come with it.
