How to Crochet the Half Double Herringbone Stitch~the EASY Way!

I’m a sucker for a beautiful crochet stitch pattern with gorgeous texture, and this Half Double Herringbone Stitch does not disappoint! From the moment I learned it I was hooked, and the most surprising thing about this stitch is how EASY it is to make! The stitch pattern creates a thick texture that leaves very little holes in the fabric, so it is perfect for home décor and bags, and I really love how the stitch pattern looks like a cross between a woven basket and a fishtail braid. The concept is that you wrap a loop of yarn around the post of your previous half double crochet while simultaneously creating the next half double crochet. That’s it! I've included instructions to make a modern trivet for your home in order to practice this stitch pattern. You can also visit my blog to see the instructions for this trivet and for a coaster at daysck.com/cro....

It’s crazy how that one little extra yo makes this fabric so dense! It’s a really good looking stitch! Thanks for sharing!

[@DaysCrochet]

I know it totally blows my mind how easy this stitch is🤯

[@judith1564]

I have been looking for an easy way to achieve this look and here you have provided such a clear tutorial! Thank you so much, can't wait to try it :)

[@mariapham1586]

I love, love, loveeeee the look of the herringbone crochet stitch and you really have made the easiest tutorial to follow! I have watched countless tutorials trying to get the hang of this stitch, but every method I've learned is complicated and time consuming so I never use it. You have changed my crocheting life. It is so easy to see exactly what you're doing and which space you're putting stitches in and the pacing of your narration and the speed with which you are crocheting is perfect for me to follow along so I'm not having to pause and rewatch it a million times. Thank you so much for making this tutorial!!!

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! You made my day😘

[@Naurein]

Thank you, very well explained

[@thelonerabbit1537]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I was looking at a lot of herringbone stitches that were a lot more complicated than this. Your tutorials never disappoint and I appreciate you using your hands to convey information as I watch without sound. Perfection !

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!❤️❤️❤️

[@catiasato8388]

I love it ❤

[@KittenBowl1]

This is a great tutorial and so easy to follow! Finally I found the herringbone half double crochet stitch tutorial I can follow! I made two pot folders and whole bunch of coasters!! I made some single crochet boarders on a pot holder with variegated bulky yarn and it looks so cute! They end up very plushy and it feels so great and soft! I’m planning to make a few placemats. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! Please keep it up! 💕

[@DaysCrochet]

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you ❤️

These came out soooooo good!! Thanks so much for a great tutorial ❣️

[@DaysCrochet]

I’m so happy to hear you love it❤️❤️❤️

[@PeachfulCrafts]

@@DaysCrochetI used 5 different colors of this yarn so far. One of my favorites from Big Twist.

[@laurelgirard8475]

I never saw a Herringbone stitch done by going through the post. Makes a thick weave, but probably too stiff for a cardigan. Interesting.😊

[@4sabrinan]

Would this same technique work for the Herringbone double and single crochet? I want to substitute the pattern’s way of making this stitch for YOUR way! Your way is WAY easier ❤

[@DaysCrochet]

To be honest, I'm not sure because I've never tried them. I will look and see!

[@amandasmith4794]

Can you post a link to where to buy that yarn? I can't seem to find it or any good dupes for it. 😫 Thank you for the video! I'm excited to try it out! 😊

[@DaysCrochet]

It’s been discontinued 😩

[@amandasmith4794]

@@DaysCrochet Oh no! 😫 do you have any recommendations for a similar yarn?

[@DaysCrochet]

@@amandasmith4794 I only have seen similar yarns on Hobbi and ICE yarn websites, unfortunately

[@judithwillow1032]

Can’t find the yarn at Joann’s. Any thoughts?

[@DaysCrochet]

They stopped carrying it😔 if you want the same yarn, Hobbii carries something very similar in their Bungee yarn line. hobbii.com/bungee-mini

[@sarahclopine9595]

This is really not an easy way.

[@DaysCrochet]

What way do you suggest?

[@ggburg8118]

It’s very difficult to see exactly where u r placing the hook into which hole. As you bend the work while you put hook into the stitch, you are obscuring the front of the work by bending it forward. U R going too fast too. Please slow down and try to be conscious of different skill levels. I have been crocheting, knitting and sewing for 5+ decades and I have trouble seeing what you are doing. Sorry, not being rude, just want to see technique clearly. Thanks.
