Waffle stitch is another type of filling stitch after the drawn thread work has been done.
Unlike the previous stitches the threads are drawn only in one direction in this type of stitch.
I have drawn threads in 2-3 pattern (draw 2 threads and leave 3).
Usually for coarser or thicker linens 1-3 pattern is used.
Bring the needle up at one end.
Next stitch is worked in the next( upper) row.
Leave 4 threads and pick next 4 threads.
Pass the needle under the 4 threads once again to form a knot.
Next stitch is taken in the row below it.
Pick the 4 threads just below.
Pass the needle under the 4 threads once again to form a knot.
Next row is worked in a similar way but by turning the work upside down.
After two rows are completed the design begins to show.
