Herringbone Stitch – Knit
Herringbone stitch produces a very tight fabric so I suggest that you use a size bigger needles than you normally would for the yarn you are going to use.
Herringbone stitch creates a beautifully braided fabric and will make a very warm garment or a lovely handbag. It is also ideal for making blankets, pillows and other home décor. It uses a fair amount more yarn than stocking stitch would.
