The Wasp's Nest Stitch
Description
The Wasp's Nest stitch is a great knit stitch variation and a member of the Knit & Purl Stitch family.
The stitch clearly resembles a wasp's nest with it's raised 3-dimensional hexagonal texture. The effect is created by twisting or crossing stitches then knitting them, basically, a mock cable effect without the need for a cable needle.
On first look, these cross knit stitches may seem intimidating, but if it's new to you, try a few practices on a test swatch, and we're sure you'll pick it up pretty quickly.
The stitch has a little bit of give to it and is excellent for paneling on sweaters or if you want to go the full hog, would be fabulous for hats.
