Let’s create a precious crochet blanket together! We have already worked the first three motifs, a couple with heart and star motifs and a two-tone weaved motif. Now, we take My Earth yarn in cream and let’s learn the waffle stitch together. A double-sided motif in relief is born from treble and back post treble. Motif always measures 10×10cm. Let’s get going!
With 3.00mm crochet hook and cream yarn, ch24 and, starting from 5th ch from hook, work as follows:
Row 1: 1 treble (tr) into each of next 20 chains. There are 21 trebles. Turn.
Row 2: ch3 (= 1 tr), 1 BPtr (= Back post treble: yarn on hook, insert hook around stem of treble from back to front, yarn on hook and pull through a loop), (yarn on hook and pull through two loops on hook) twice, * 1 tr into each of next 2 sts,
1 BPtr around next tr;
rep from * ending with a tr into 3rd of first ch3; turn. 3rd row: ch3 (= 1 tr), * 1 tr into next st, 1 BPtr around each of next 2 trebles; rep from * ending with a tr into last st and 1 tr into 3rd of first ch3; turn.
Cont to work, repeating 2nd and 3rd rows 5 more times (follow diagram, if you prefer). When 13 rows have been worked, fasten off. Keep Motifs.

This is how the wrong side of the work looks like.
While different from the right side, it is beautiful and can be used alternatively in blanket composition or for other uses.
