The herringbone half double crochet stitch is a variation on the half double crochet stitch. It is so easy to do (I was certainly surprised) and creates a lovely linked fabric. This post includes 4 different sizes for afghan squares or dishcloths and the stitch multiple to allow you to make a project to any size once you have mastered the new stitch.
