How To: Crochet The Herringbone Double Crochet – Easy Tutorial

March 31, 2017

Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Since that very first day I picked up a crochet hook and decided to take it for a spin, I immediately fell in love with the variety of stitches at my fingertips, and how unique and interesting every single one was. Most of you would have realised by now that my obsession with crochet stitches with a knit-like texture is nothing new. Recently I was drawn to the knitted Herringbone stitch, and the simple yet lovely slanted design it flaunted… Which led me on a fun journey to a crochet version!

The Herringbone Double Crochet has a beautifully textured and earthy feel about it, whilst still remaining a pretty easy crochet stitch to learn, perfect for any crochet newbies to give a go… Just imagine the dozens of cosy afghans and chunky scarves you could crochet using this stitch?

If you’re just as excited as I always am about learning new stitches and techniques, this helpful video will guide you through all the necessary steps to learn the “Herringbone Double Crochet Stitch” (in an easy to follow speed), as you continue on your ever-growing crochet adventure!

    You crochet so evenly and your voice is slow and calm when you instruct. Thank you from New Zealand. I have been trying to find a nice stitch to make a cardigan for a grandchild, and this is perfect because it doesn’t have large gaps. Am saving your site for reference to other stitches. Keep on doing what you do so well.

    Thank you so much for posting this and your video. Your soothing voice gave me the confidence I needed to achieve it. Your quite an amazing young lady. I’ve been crocheting since 1981 and I’d forgotten how to do it. Thanks again for the refresher course..It worked for this 66 year old gal.
    pure genius, I do so appreciate you.
