    \ud83e\uddf7 STITCHES USED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Herringbone Half Double Crochet (Hbhdc)<\/strong>: The key to the texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Single Crochet (sc)<\/strong>: For joining and edging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Slip Stitch (sl st)<\/strong>: For finishing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udd04 HERRINGBONE HDC STITCH (Hbhdc) \u2013 HOW TO:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Yarn over, insert hook into stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Yarn over again and pull through the stitch AND the first loop on your hook<\/strong> (2 loops remain).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This gives a slanted V-shape<\/strong> that mimics herringbone fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
