Crochet Wide Herringbone Stitch

Ask Me Monday with Vickie Howell: Wide Herringbone Stitch

Crochet Wide Herringbone Stitch

This week on Ask Me Monday I show how to crochet the Wide Herringbone Stitch, as used by designer Natalie Thomas in her Arrows Scarf design for YarnYAY! This stitch has a cool, lacy woven look that looks great in any weight of yarn. Watch the episode, then work a practice swatch using the instructions below. Have fun!

    I have been struggling with this stitch. Sometimes it help me to look at a chart. Is there one for this?

      Unfortunately, I don’t have a chart. Were you able to watch my tutorial, though? hopefully that helps!
