Special stitches:

The Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC) is a variation of the traditional half double crochet (HDC) stitch, with a slight twist that creates a slanted, textured look resembling a herringbone pattern.

• Yarn Over (YO): As with a normal HDC, you start by yarning over the hook.
• Insert the Hook: Insert your hook into the next stitch (just like for a regular HDC).
• Pull Through Stitch: Yarn over again and pull through the stitch. Now you should have three loops on your hook.
• Pull Through First Loop: Here’s where the difference lies! Instead of yarning over again right away, first pull the first loop through the second loop on your hook. This slants the stitch and gives it the herringbone effect.
• Complete the Stitch: Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. You’ve now completed one herringbone half double crochet stitch!
