If you did the Single Herringbone in the 50 Stitches crochet along don’t worry, the Double Herringbone stitch is much easier and doesn’t involve any backward stitches.

The free pattern is below, but if you’d like the ad free printable version, it is available either as part of my Lifetime Pattern Pass, or you can purchase it on its own for £5 from Ravelry

The pattern is written in US terms, but the UK translation is below in brackets along with the abbreviations we will be using

• Chain = ch
• Double Herringbone Stitch (treble Herringbone Stitch) = dhs

The Pattern

We will be using a 3.5mm hook for this piece

With Colour J Chain 16

Row 1. In the 4th chain from your hook (the turning chain counts as your first dc) make a double herringbone stitch (dhs) – yarn over and insert your hook into the chain. Yarn over and pull through the chain AND the first loop like you’re making a slip stitch. 

Make a dhs in every chain across – 14 stitches.

Row 2. Turn, chain 1 and make the alternate turning chain in the first stitch. 

In each stitch in the row make a dhs – 14 stitches.

Your stitches should slant in the opposite direction from the row below

Rows 3-40. Repeat row 2.

Your edges will take on a scalloped look, this is because of how each row slants to the side. Once you join this piece to the other rays, the edges will straighten out

The Border

Join with Colour E (your joining colour) into any stitch. Make 2 slst into the side of every stitch, and 1 slst in each stitch across the top and bottom.

You should have 80 slst on each long side and 14 slst along the short sides 

Weave in your ends and join the long side only to the triangular ray from week 5. We will join the bottom edge with the week 7 ray.
