Description
The most difficult part of the ocean wave knitting stitch is keeping track of which row you are on so I suggest using a stitch counter to help you keep track. Knit and purl stitches are all you need to know in order to master this pattern. It's a fun design that can be used for a variety of knitting projects.
Skill level: Intermediate
12 Stitch pattern repeat.
Materials and Supplies
You can use any weight yarn along with the appropriate size needles for that particular yarn. A suggestion of needle sizes often is posted on the yarn label (wrapper).
