Short Wave Stitch Granny Square Pattern | Free Crochet Pattern

I'm a huge fan of the short wave stitch pattern and have used it previously in a crochet cushion cover pattern too.

This stitch can be worked in any multiple number of colours to create a unique look for this granny square.

In the photo I chose to work it in 2 different colours, but it would look equally as good in 4 colours too.

The stitch repeat feels a little unorthodox in that you repeat the rows in reverse to create the stacked stitches.
