Learn how to crochet this popular Herringbone Half Double Crochet Stitch and use it in your next crochet project!
There are so many beautiful, classic crochet stitch patterns out there and the herringbone half double crochet stitch is certainly one of them.
This wonderful crochet stitch is so easy to work. It ends up being slightly taller than a single crochet stitch with a unique look. It almost doesn’t even look like crochet!
You will want to use this stitch in a variety of different projects and yarn weights. It’s texture is reversible so feel free to try it out in those larger reversible projects.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. You are also able to work this stitch in a single colour or more. The Heatherly yarn is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
The turning ch does not count as a stitch.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 31.
Row One:
Hhdc (See “Stitches and Abbreviations”) in the 2nd ch from your hook and into each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Hhdc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat your row two. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
