Friday Homework for Lesson 355: Double Wave Stitch

The name of this stitch pulled me down a deep rabbit hole. I have found a number of stitches that include the word Wave.

The first four are well documented, as you will see. Basically, they are the same in looks, but are started with either a short Straight Stitch or a Fly Stitch. Open and Closed explain how close they are placed to each other.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 355: Double Wave Stitch

 I found this stitch in a library book, the Japanese '1000のステッチ',  called 'The Techniques for Over 1000 Stitches Embroidery' in English, although there is no translation. The Japanese issue is out of print.

Here is my photo tutorial for this very easy stitch:

It almost looks like a line of slanted Seed Stitches!
