The half double crochet stitch is one of my favorites, so I was eager to learn this herringbone half double crochet variation.

I haven’t been disappointed.

This is an easy to stitch to learn and since it is still in the half double realm, it works up quickly and looks great in a larger pattern section.

The slanting rows really come together to shine when you see them all together in a large part of your pattern. 

I love the horizontal lines and structure to the stitches. This stitch looks great in so many colors and yarns, but I think my favorite is a solid color that really shows the herringbone effect. 

How about you?

Techniques and Abbreviations Used:

  • st(s) – stitch(es)
  • ch – chain
  • hbhdc – herringbone half double crochet
  • yo – yarn over

Herringbone Half Double Stitch Written Instructions:

Any number of sts, add 1 for the foundation chain.

Swatch Instructions:

Ch 16.

Row 1: 1 hbhdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch to end, turn.

Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as 1 hbhdc), 1 hbhdc in next st and each st to end, 1 hdhdc in turning ch, turn.

Row 3+: Repeat Row 2. 

Helpful Tips:

Work the rows in twos so that you get the full herringbone effect in your final project. 

Pay attention and make sure you don’t lapse back into a regular half double crochet stitch.
