Use cotton yarn for summer blouses, or wool blend for cozy winter sweaters.
Add a scallop or ribbed border for a cardigan.
Combine this stitch with a lace panel for stylish inserts.

🧶 Swatch Suggestion:

Make a 6”x6” swatch to test gauge, texture, and yarn choice.

📸 Visualization (Optional Description):

Imagine a soft, rippling texture made by small “X” shapes stacked vertically, alternating with raised ridges created by front post stitches. It’s warm, stretchy, and eye-catching — like a boutique-style garment stitch!
