Special Stitches
Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC)
Herringbone half double crochet is a unique crochet stitch that creates a diagonal, textured pattern reminiscent of herringbone fabric.
This stitch adds a beautiful texture to your projects and is excellent for scarves, shawls, and blankets.
Steps to Create Herringbone Half Double Crochet
- Yarn over and insert the hook into the stitch.
- Yarn over and pull up a loop; you now have three loops on your hook.
- Pull the first loop on your hook through the second loop on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through the remaining 2 loops on your hook.
Gauge
4 inches x 4 inches (10 cm x 10 cm) = 4 rows x 7 stitches.
Emily's Notes
The herringbone stitch is one of those techniques that looks far more complex than it actually is, which makes it perfect for scarf projects.
The key is keeping tension consistent so the diagonal texture stays even throughout.
Once you get into the rhythm, it becomes a very relaxing repeat project with a really polished end result.
Finished Size
The finished crochet Sophia scarf is about 9 inches (22 cm) wide at the neck and 72 inches (182 cm) long.
