Fancy Stitch Combos – Herringbone Stitch

Instructions for working the Herringbone Stitch:
Cast-on a multiple of 3 stitches, + 1
Row 1: (RS) K1, *yo, SL 1 with yarn in back, K2, pass slipped stitch over 2 stitches*
Row 2: P1, *yo, SL 1 with yarn in front, P2, pass sl stitch over 2 stitches*
Work to desired length, then bind-off normally on a right-side row.

This week is the third video in a new series called Fancy Stitch Combos. In this series I hope to demonstrate stitches that have been requested, and hopefully introduce you to some new ones that I think are pretty and useful. Feel free to drop me a note if you’d like to submit an idea for a video in this series.
