I'm working up a new pattern for an Autumn stash buster Poncho. And I think I have come up with a new pattern stitch. It looks similar to the waffle stitch, but it's definitely different. It utilizes hdc's, dc2tog's (dc decrease) and fpdc2tog's, which to my knowledge, no one has ever done before. Here is a swatch of the fabric I made using this stitch pattern.
As you can see, it sort of looks like the waffle stitch... but it's thicker, because those are fpdc2tog's. It makes a thick, squishy fabric that would be great for sweaters, ponchos (like the one I'm making), and possibly even blankets.
What I'm trying to figure out... is what to call this pattern stitch. Obviously, it's not the waffle stitch, it's too thick. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to call it?
