Crochet Stitch Tutorial: Herringbone Double Crochet
The Herringbone Double Crochet Stitch is one of my favorite stitches. It is fun to work up, provides a good coverage, and makes an awesome looking project!
I use this stitch often in many of my patterns, including some of my garments and even in a blanket!
Patterns that use the Herringbone Double Crochet stitch
Tied and True Tee – this is a super easy, circular yoke project that uses just this stitch!
Layla Tunic– this beautiful long tunic is perfect for wearing with leggings or boots!
Remi Raglan Sweater– a super cute raglan, long sleeved sweater with striping at the shoulders.
Happy Herringbone Chevron Blanket – this gorgeous chevron blanket uses this beautiful stitch to give it such a nice texture! This is a free crochet pattern.
More About the Stitch
Since it provides good coverage, and the stitches are pretty tightly woven together, so it’s great for garments!
When worked in rows, it gives the fabric a true herringbone look.
It is worked similar to a regular double crochet, but with one added step.
The abbreviation for this stitch is herr-dc.
Written Instructions
herr-dc: yarn over, insert hook into st, draw up a loop and pull through 1 loop on hook, yarn over, pull through 1 loop (2 loops on hook at this point), yarn over, pull through both loops.
