Crochet Herringbone Single Tutorial
Material:
- Big Twist yarn in the color coral (or any yarn of your choice)
- 6 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
Instructions:
Start with a Slip Knot:
- Make a slip knot using your preferred method.
Chain Stitches:
- Chain 21 (or any number of chains for your project plus one additional chain).
- To make a chain, yarn over and pull through the loop already on your hook.
First Row:
- Skip the very first chain from the hook.
- Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook.
- To make a single crochet, yarn over, pull up a loop (two loops on hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
Start Herringbone Single Crochet:
- Look for the vertical loop behind the loop on your hook.
- Insert your hook into this vertical loop.
- Insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop (now three loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all three loops.
- Continue this pattern across the row.
Turning Your Work:
- After the last stitch of the row, chain one to turn your work.
Second Row:
- Begin with a single crochet into the first stitch.
- You’ll be working from the back: insert your hook from behind instead of from the front.
- Follow the same steps as the first row, inserting into the vertical loop and the next stitch.
Continuing the Pattern:
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for the length of your project.
- Maintain a loose tension, especially when pulling up loops from the back.
Finishing:
- To finish your project, after completing the last stitch of your final row, chain one.
- Cut your yarn, pull the yarn through the loop on your hook, and pull tight.
- Weave in any loose ends.
