I am so in love with the double herringbone stitch and I am so excited to share this tutorial with my readers.
The double herringbone is a great stitch to add to your list of stitches to use in a project.
The double herringbone looks best in a larger section where you can really see the slanting of the stitches to create that herringbone look.
The double herringbone gives you that extra bit of height and a little more drape than a standard double crochet.
I would love to see what projects you crochet with this stitch.
Techniques and Abbreviations Used:
