Knit Herringbone - Knitting stitches come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s always fun to discover new ones. In this month’s “Stitch of the Month,” we’re highlighting the herringbone stitch. It’s a fun knitting stitch with a beautiful texture that’s ideal for making throws, rugs, and other home decor items. Check out the free pattern and instructional video below!
Knitting is totally trendy, and with so many different stitches to choose from, the possibilities are endless. This herringbone stitch is a great way to make beautiful Home Accessories and really stands out when worked with thick yarn. In this example, we’ve started on a small rug—perfect for placing a plant on or as a decorative accent on a chair. Once you’ve mastered the stitch, let your creativity run wild and get started on blankets, throws, or other fun projects!
We started knitting with Yarn and Colors Urban. Urban is a thick, skein-style yarn made of wool and Acrylic, and it’s ideal for making Home Accessories. Choose your favorite from the beautiful color palette and get started on your favorite project right away!
