In Smocking, the equivalent stitch to the Chevron Stitch is the Baby Wave. When it is stitched between half-space rows, it makes a lovely small row, especially pretty on baby garments.

To make this stitch, alternate a Cable Stitch with a single Trellis Stitch. Make sure that the Cable Stitches line up on the row. Each stitch uses one old pleat and picks up one new pleat.
