Some white #crochet from our Festival ...
Does anybody know how this "wavy" technique (photo 3/4) was called/made:
edit: Image search showed me "Victorian hexagons". I found originals from the 1920/50s but it may be much older.
On Ravelry I found modernized patterns with "popcorns": https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/marguerite-bedspread-6132

I don't know what it is called but I reckon I could work it out if I had the time/space/access to the original

Looking at it, I reckon that there were probably extra chain stitches at the bottom of the wave than normal for that point in the pattern, and then that has been worked into leading to excess fabric up the pattern.
Is there a chain behind it at the top of the wave too?

I think the flat bit of the wave is the part that is attached to the actual stitches in the row below, rather than the chains between the stitches
