Bucks Point wiggle. See pattern 311.
I call this a Bucks Point wiggle because of the pattern made by the gimp. The actual design is a straight line. It is made of honeycomb surrounded by gimps. I suggest that you understand all these before trying wiggles.
wiggle pattern
The diagram below avoids the complexities of the individual stitches by showing each pair of threads as a single line. Where one line crosses another inside the wiggle, you should work it as half stitch and twist, pin, half stitch and twist (or honeycomb). The gimp is shown in pink. Click here to see how to work a gimp. Outside the gimp is not part of the wiggle, and so will be worked in whatever stitch is required - perhaps a headside or ground.

Working: The wigles are in pairs, one facing to the left and one to the right.
Work all pairs required through the gimp (marked in pink).
The shape inside the gimp is all in honeycomb. The inside of the shape is pointed and can be worked down to (but not including) the bottom pin hole. The outside of the shape is a vertical line. This involves doing the top half, then taking the outermost pair across the gimp to work a stich outside (and possibly some more of the outside as well). Then a pair is taken back across the gimp again to work the rest of the shape.
All pairs must now be worked across the gimp again. The second shape is exactly the same, but facing the other way.
