This fabulous ripple or wave stitch pattern is created with slip stitches, so there's no short row turning to slow you down. The finished piece, which measures 35cm (14in) square, can be finished as a cushion or as a bag.

The cushion or bag is knitted in aran-weight yarns and is suitable for Magic Ball Yarns (as pictured), or a colour change yarn such as Noro. It can also be worked in solid colours, using a different colour for each stripe.

Stitches used:
Cast on, knit, purl, slipping stitches.
