Herringbone Treble Stitch Pattern
Foundation Chain:
Make any even-numbered chain (e.g., 20, 22, 24, etc.).
Row 1:
-
Herringbone Treble (hbt) in 4th ch from hook (counts as first stitch).
-
*Yarn over, insert hook into next ch, yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook).
-
Pull first loop directly through the second loop (like a slip stitch).
-
Yarn over, pull through one loop.
-
Yarn over, pull through remaining two loops.*
-
Repeat from * to * across. Turn.
Row 2:
-
Ch 3 (counts as first hbt).
-
Hbt in each stitch across. Turn.
Repeat Row 2 for the desired length.
Tips for Success
✅ Keep an even tension—this stitch naturally pulls to one side, so relaxed stitches help.
✅ Try a slightly larger hook for a softer, drapey fabric.
✅ Use solid-colored yarn to highlight the woven effect.
