Vertical Herringbone Stitch | Knit with Aabhar

Pattern Description


Vertical Herringbone knitting stitch features columns of zig-zag motifs created by increasing and decreasing stitches. Another variation, the Horizontal Herringbone, features zig-zag shapes in horizontal orientation.

It is a slightly complex knitting pattern that creates a knitted fabric with an edge having a slight curl. If you are planning any projects with this one, make sure that either you want the curl and wave at the end or you use a stiffer border at the edge. You can design scarves and pullovers using this textured knitting stitch.
