Wide Herringbone Stitch | How to Crochet

The Wide Herringbone Stitch pattern is a striking crochet stitch pattern featuring a backing of double crochet mesh, and an arrowhead design of long chains along the front.

The stitch does take a few foundation rows to get the pattern set up, but once it is, the pattern is only a two row repeat.  The final fabric is not quite solid in nature and all of the texture is to one side.  It would create a neat effect used alongside a most solid pattern in a blanket, possibly even on its own.  This wide herringbone stitch would be fun to play around with!

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. It is a worsted weight yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarns.  However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
