Herringbone Double Crochet Stitch


After years of crochet and knit projects, I found myself with a HUGE stash of remnant yarn. 

So many balls of yarn.

This striped herringbone blanket was a great way to whittle down the excess yarn I had hanging around. The Herringbone Double Crochet stitch is a simple variation on a double crochet and adds a nice texture. 

See the simple blanket pattern and stitch tutorial below. 

Written instructions for the Herringbone Double Crochet: Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through the stitch ( you should have three loops on your hook) pull the first loop through the second loop, yarn over, pull through second loop, yarn over, pull through two remaining loops.

I think the restaurant which you told me in the letter is very interesting. I also like to eat out and I usually go to a restaurant for dinner with my family twice a month., The food is delicious so we enjoy it very much. The service is also quick and friendly.
