    The herringbone crochet stitch as a double crochet stitch looks different from a normal double crochet stitch but has the same height as one. Learn this stitch here via a video and photos.


    Crochet stitches have interesting names. Some even have multiple names as they were discovered or invented around the same time, but independently from each other. Some stitches get their name from their looks, some get them from their function, characteristic, or their creator. The Herringbone stitch can actually be made into different versions. You can see this stitch most commonly as a hdc or dc stitch. As I’m creating a series for you for this special stitch, I will focus first on the Herringbone Double Crochet stitch.

    Different than a normal Double Crochet Stitch

    So what’s so different about this stitch than a normal double crochet? Well, when you make it, you start out the same way, but then change the second step of making a dc to turn it into a Herringbone stitch.

    It creates a slant and makes the stitch look a lot like a herringbone as it slants to 2 different directions when you crochet it in rows. It will only slant into one direction if you crochet this stitch in rounds. Although you could change directions, even if you crochet it in rounds to create the herringbone effect. It’s very similar to the Herringbone HDC.

    To make it easier, I created a written pattern as well as a video tutorial for this stitch. So no matter how you learn new stitches, you will be able to learn this one easily and quickly.
