Herringbone Double Crochet

The Herringbone Double Crochet stitch is gorgeous variation on the Double Crochet, that has ample drape, and makes a relatively flat fabric. Each stitch is formed at a diagonal, thus creating a herringbone look to the stitch pattern when worked in turned rows. The hardest part about learning this stitch, is to keep yourself from accidentally making regular Double Crochet stitches! The Herringbone Double Crochet is fun to work up, and is great for making blankets, washcloths, scarves, and especially garments, since it has such a nice drape to it!
