Herringbone Double Crochet

Today I’m sharing with you how to crochet the Herringbone Double Crochet. Not only am I showing you the traditional method, I’m also showing you how to modify the edges so that they’re much straighter. You’ll be amazed at how a simple, little trick makes such a big difference! The written directions are below, as well as the video tutorial.

The crochet hook used is my absolute favorite hook. It’s the Furls Odyssey in Turquoise; however, they now have a bunch of colors that I love! The yarn is also lovely! It’s a super soft, inexpensive and absolutely lovely yarn that I just love, as well (Oh, and it doesn’t split!). So much so that I became an affiliate with the Furls company and LoveCrafts. What that means for you is that when you purchase using my link, you allow the company to pay me a small commission without costing you a penny more. This helps me to continue making free tutorials and patterns. Here is the link if you’d like to check them out for yourself:
