Waves needlepoint patterns

Waves to count, among them gentle waves, rolling swells, ripples and bold ocean stripes, most of which come in blues and white.

Most are four-inch squares on 18 mesh that repeat, with a belt and a key fob in the same line. Most take two or three colors, and most are marked beginner. If this is your first piece, a wave that repeats is a forgiving start, because a miscount shows as soon as the next row goes in.
