Herringbone treble crochet stitches (herringbone double crochet in US terminology) are a great alternative to standard treble crochets (double crochets in US)
They have a left leaning slant which means that when you work the next row, it creates a woven, herringbone effect.
There is just one extra stage to the treble that makes it a Herringbone, so it should all feel very familiar.
It is abbreviated to:
- HBtr in UK terminology
- HBdc in US terminology

Hi Fay
Thanks for this. I noticed a typo above where the link to the photo tutorial for the herringbone treble crochet you have left off the “herringbone”.
