Raised Herringbone Crochet Stitch Tutorial
The Raised Herringbone Crochet Stitch is worked using post stitches on the diagonal and creates an interesting raised zig-zag pattern on your project.
I think this stitch is so beautiful and it is fun to make too! After a couple of set-up rows, there is a 2-row repeat and one of those rows is plain half double crochet. It is not reversible. The texture only shows on the front side of your project and all the post stitches are worked in the the row 2 rows below the current row.
I think this stitch would be prefect to use on just about any project you wanted an all-over textured pattern on. A hat, baby blanket, or pillow cover is what comes to my mind first.
