Hi Lystra, I used about 2 and a quarter skeins - so 3 skeins. You may need less or more depending on how tight or loose you crochet. The updated free pattern linked in my comment above has more info and exact yards used. Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay in response. With Love, Leisha 💕
You are a natural at explaining the stitches for beginners, some people forget they are doing it for beginners but you remember what it was like when you were learning and that is what makes the difference. Thank you
I'm so happy it was helpful for you!😁 Thank you so much for this comment. The Universe is so funny - your comment came in at a moment when I really needed to hear that. Comments are how we know when we're doing something right - or not. No matter how big or small a channel is, comments motivate and guide us. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.🙏💕
@@WithLoveLeisha You are welcome. I teach computers to people with disabilities or mental heal issues and i know how important it is to get the basics across to the students so they can build on it. Your videos are doing just that for me.
I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing! Your voice is soothing and reassuring. For those who say the video was too fast for a beginner, I recommend first watching tutorials that ONLY teach you the types of stitches. Once you know the stitches inside and out, these beginner project tutorials are much easier to follow. That’s how I taught myself.
Thank you for this great pattern! I really appreciate you taking the time to walk us through the stitch process! I'm a visual learner and this helped tremendously! I finished my first scarf and am starting on a second for Christmas gifts. Have a great day!
My pleasure! So happy to hear you were able to make this scarf! I'd love to see pics if you'd like to share them. Enjoy making your Christmas gifts, and thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.💕
Hi Leisha, I have to say this is one of the best crochet tutorials I have ever seen. You are so thorough covering all aspects of the project including the different methods of joining in yarn and finishing off the tails. Really well done, and thank you for teaching me a new stitch which I absolutely love. 💜
Awww thank you so much! It means alot to me that you feel that way. I'm so glad I was able to make it a little easier and help you learn a little more. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Let me know if there's anything else crochet related I can help you with. ~Leisha💕
So glad you found this tutorial helpful! Thank you for the compliment.🙏 I hope my other videos are just as helpful for you. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.🙂💕

Finally a video I follow and after a few rows, my stitch count is right! thanks for the great great work! I'm just a beginner and usually I follow the videos carefully but somehow I end up messing it, not knowing how or where the mistake is. your video leaves no space for doubts, I understand everything :)
Aww your comment made my day😊. I'm so happy to hear the video was helpful for you. Let me know if you have any other crochet questions or would like to see a tutorial on something specific. I'm happy to help. There's a free download in my pinned comment if you'd like to see the written pattern to this. Thanks for commenting and watching! With Love, Leisha 💕
Leisha, just found your channel. You did a great job explaining what and how to do this project. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials! I did subscribe and gave you a 👍🏻! TFS! 😊
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy other projects just as much. There's a matching headband with this scarf. Here's the link if that's something you'd like to check out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtksGPSiPJI.htmlsi=MhGJ8PRE1WkDRZe- Enjoy!💕
You are doing a great job for beginners and going plenty slow enough. I love this scarf, just finished using a premier puzzle yarn. Used one skein and it’s perfect! Thank you!
Yay! So glad you liked the pattern and were able to make it. Ooo thanks for sharing about the yarn you used! I just ordered that yarn and I'm so excited to try it.😁💕
Finished mine in 3 nights. So easy to follow along. It’s a little stiff but I’m hoping a trip through the washer will soften it some (used a different bulky yarn as I couldn’t find this brand ). Thank you for this. On to your next video!
Oh wow, that's awesome!👏 Glad you found it easy to follow. The yarn I used has been discontinued, unfortunately. So sad. I'd love to see pictures of your scarf! If you decide to post them on social pls tag me, or you can email me pics if you'd like. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!💕
Everything is right about it. Great camera coverage, very specific verbal instructions on the herringbone half double stitch. Detailed on when/where to insert your hook. Nice additional tip on adding the new ball of yarn. Four ⭐️’s on your video. Thank you!
Thank you SO much. I just love this pattern and it worked so well for my scarf that I made using Kismet Paint Super Chunky Fashion Yarn in the colour Namib Sands. It is 80% Acrylic and 20% Wool. The texture is amazing!
You're very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it, and it turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing your yarn details. It will be helpful for others looking for a yarn they love for this!💕
Great! Let me know if you have any questions. There's a free pattern linked too if you'd like to download it. Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching!💕
There's not much difference, to be honest, unless you make it particularly feminine looking with frills or very lacey stitches. Other than that, most scarves are unisex, and you can just use colors preferred by the person you're making it for. Fashion and society have changed so much now days, everything is personal preference. Hope that's helpful!💕
First...I adore you. I can understand your directions very easily AND your voice is really pleasant to listen to..Thank you for taking time out of your personal life to help myself and others. Anyway, I have a question. Anybody can answer if they want, I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've got the stitch down, but sometimes I have 15 rows and sometimes I have 17 rows! Makes me so mad! What could I be doing wrong?
Hi! Thanks for the compliment! Glad you found my directions easy to follow. So you said rows but I'm guessing you meant that sometimes you have 15 stitches and sometimes 17? I would go back and pay closer attention to how you are starting and ending each row. This is a 2 row repeat, meaning there are 2 ways the rows start and end. So for the very first row where you create the gaps, you will place a stitch in the top of the post and then chain 1 for the next post, creating a gap, then continue repeating down the row, and end the same way. For the next row, you will place a stitch in the top of the first post, and then since you created a gap the row before, you'll place a stitch into that gap. Continue this way down the row. And then you'll repeat by alternating how you start and end the rows, based on which row you're on. All the even # rows will be 1 way and the odd # rows the other way. I'm guessing this is where you've made a mistake, because it's the easiest way to add extra stitches, or miss a stitch. Let me know if that's helpful! Thanks for giving my pattern a chance! ~Leisha💕
Hey I have a question I love this stitch and I would like to make a scarf for my son who is 8 I was wondering what you would suggest my foundation chain should be thank you 😊
Hi Miracle, what a great question - thanks for asking! The foundation chain will be the width of the scarf, and the right width will depend on your son's size, the yarn you use, and how bulky you want the scarf to be around his neck. For reference, mine is 6.75 inches in width and 61" in length. I would crochet a foundation chain that is about 5 inches in width, then add a few rows so you have a good size rectangle to see how you like it, and adjust from there. Hope that is helpful. I'm happy to answer more questions! 💕
Great tutorial. I used a size 5 yarn and size 8 hook but it looked very loose. Should I try a smaller hook or different yarn? I’m using Loops & Threads Charisma
Ooo I love that yarn. I would definitely try a smaller hook before changing my yarn. You can size down 1 size at a time, and come down quite a bit as long as you're comfortable. Your tension is probably a lot looser than mine so you can afford to go down on the hook sizes. Also, a good starting point is the hook size the yarn suggests. Just crochet a small square with that size to see if you like it first and go from there. Hope that's helpful! Here if you have more questions.💕
This is SOOO Beginner friendly. I am not quite that green. But you still addr3ssed some questions I had been struggling with, so thank you. I hit the like and subscribe buttons! Good job!
Yay! I'm so glad your questions were answered. Thank you for liking and subscribing, and leaving a comment. It's so helpful to know whether a tutorial was useful or not. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.💕
Did you know that the yarn you used here is no longer available? I think it was discontinued, sadly enough. I'm having a hard time with the scarf because one side keeps getting wider and wider. I've taken part of it out twice now to redo so its evern but it happened again. Any suggestions?
Yes, I did. And I'm so sad about it🥺. It was discontinued very soon after I wrote the pattern - unfortunately, that's not uncommon. But there are other chunky, self striping yarns that others have used that look gorgeous too! What do you mean it's getting wider on 1 side- like as you crochet the scarf is getting wider? 2 possibilities: 1. You have added extra stitches (the most common reason). I would re count your stitches. 2. Your tension has loosened as you've added rows. If your stitch count is correct, try crocheting a bit tighter. Let me know if that helps, okay? If it doesn't, feel free to email me a photo at withloveleisha@gmail.com with the subject "help with scarf". I'll take a look and try to help. Thanks for reaching out!💕
Hi Carol, great question! Yes you can. To do the herringbone hdc without skipping a stitch, go into the next stitch without chaining 1 in between and cont. that way. Keep in mind you will get a bulkier look and change the drape of what you make as it will get heavier. It won't work too well for this scarf unless you change the design. 1 reason we're skipping stitches here is to balance the single crochet. The herringbone is a bigger stitch than the sc so we need to put less of them to keep our width the same. You'll also need more yarn. I'm happy to answer more questions! ~Leisha💕
Oh wow, so exciting! I don't have a beanie/hat pattern using the same stitch yet! But I have a matching ear warmer/headband coming very soon! Hats are still a little scary for me to design, but we'll get there, haha. The video for the ear warmer is all filmed- so it'll come soon- promise! Thanks for asking!😁💕
Oh no! Try tightening the chain 1 at the end before you turn. And make sure your stitch count is correct. If it doesn't fix it, let me know. We'll try to figure out what's going on.💕
Hi Leishsa, new subscriber. You’re such a great instructor. Such a relaxing time. I look forward to following you for more of your beautiful works! Thank you for sharing! 🌹
Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you felt relaxed and enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy my other videos as well. Thank you for subscribing! Let me know if you have any tutorial requests.💕
with the rotating at the end and begging between having to chain one then do the half double crochet versus not having to chain one before, I have gotten stuck at a point where im not having to rotate, there is always a bar that i have to chain one to account for at the end, but at the beginning i do not have to chain one. I can't find where I've gone wrong and was wondering if this is normal?
Hi there! Uh oh. It sounds like you've made a mistake somewhere in your counting - most likely. Make sure your count is correct. Most probably, you were supposed to chain 1 after the first stitch a few rows back and didn't. If the count is correct, then you've corrected the count somehow, but the design is still off. Find where your end and beginning started becoming different and re do those rows. I'm suggesting that you re do as opposed to continuing like this because this mistake does affect the actual design of the scarf, and it could end up heavier on one end. I have a Free Written Pattern for this scarf that will be helpful for you, as it offers tips to prevent these issues. You can follow it even if you can't read a pattern. The link is in my Pinned comment. Let me know if you have more questions.🙂 ~Leisha 💕
Amazon! I think the exact link is in the description but honestly just search Ergonomic crochet hooks on Amazon and you'll find so many sets that come with like every size you'll need, a pouch, stitch markers, and more! I only paid about $15 bucks for my set.
Un gros merci pour vos belles explications 😊👏🏻.Je suis une débutante et avec votre vidéo qui est juste parfait pour la vitesse,j’ai enfin compris ce beau point Herringbone ! ! Je me suis abonnée à votre chaîne ! Merci encore ! 👍🏻😀🙋🏻♀️
Je vous en prie! Merci pour les beaux compliments, pour votre commentaire et pour votre abonnement. J'espère que mes autres tutos vous plairont également ! Faites moi savoir si vous avez des questions. Avec amour, Leisha💕
Hi Kiarah! Thanks for the question. I'd love to make a video answering your question🙂. I'm not sure what you mean by second chain though and not knowing how to finish it. Are you asking how to finish a foundation chain or did you mean the second row? Or did I misunderstand that completely and you meant something totally different? Sorry for the confusion. Let me know, I'd love to help. ~Leisha💕
Hi there! Glad you want to give this scarf a shot! I used a little over 2 and 1/4 skeins of yarn for this - or 248 yards. The yarn I used is discontinued😪. Regardless of which yarn you use, I would buy at least a few yards extra in case you use more than I did. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions. ~Leisha💕
Hi! Good question. For this scarf, I usually eyeball it since it's not like a beanie or headband that needs to be an exact measurement. If you do measure after chaining, you'll need to re measure after adding a couple rows because, based on your yarn and how tight you crochet, the fabric will shrink or stretch. 💕
So glad you found this helpful. I love the stitch used in this scarf and have more patterns coming out soon using it. I hope you enjoy those, and my other videos as well! Thanks for watching and commenting.💕
The link does NOT NOT NOT OPEN UP A FREE PATTERN FOR THIS CHUNKY SCARF. As I stated in my above comment, you need to work on the links because they do not open up.
I'm sorry you had trouble with this link. This was the first pattern I posted, and since then, I've written more, so you do need to scroll to the bottom of the screen after the link opens. This scarf pattern is there and is still FREE. You also have the option to download any other free patterns that you see on my site. I do make my living as a crochet designer, and I put a lot of effort and time into my patterns, so I do need to charge for some of them but I never intentionally advertise a pattern as being free if it isn't as that would be disrespectful to my audience. The donation OPTION is available for those who enjoy my work and would like to support my small business when they download a free pattern, but it is absolutely NOT an obligation. You are more than welcome to download the free ones for free, as many others have. If you still have trouble with the link, pls let me know because it's working fine on my end. Thanks! ~Leisha💕
If you’re having trouble with the speed of any RU-vid video, you can slow down or speed up the video in the settings within that video. I hope that's helpful. I'm sorry you had trouble with this one.💕
Can you help me I think I got lost with the counting of stitches. I am pretty sure not every row has the same number of stitches. Now I have done a few rows and I missing two stitches. Can I fix it or should I start over? Do you have in every row 16 stiches or is every row 15 stitches in total? Do you chain one to add it up to 16.
I started with a foundation Chain of 16 (chain any even #) and then EVERY row after that has 15 stitches (or 1 less than your # of chains). You need an odd number at the end of row 1 for the pattern to work. The chain 1 does not count as a stitch. You are placing an actual stitch in the very 1st stitch of the row, so you count that st as 1, and then your last st will be # 15 (or whatever number you shld have.) Then ch 1 and turn. Don't open it all if you had an odd number after row 1. Just undo the rows until you reach one where your stitch count is correct, and move forward from there. Does that help?
LOVE this! You are a fabulous teacher! I've watched many crochet videos and your is by far the best. Thank you! I'll be giving this one a try. It's exactly what I wanted.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed this video and found what you were looking for! I am flattered by your compliment. Thank you so much for watching and leaving this incredibly sweet comment. Let me know if you have any questions, or if there's something else you'd like a video on.🙂💕
My problem is always having the ends even. I get into a rhythm with crocheting and then realize my ends are crooked. This is helping me understand how to avoid the uneven ends better.
Glad you liked it! Not sure what you're asking. Did you mean headband? Here's the link to the matching headband tutorial just in case that's what you were saying. But pls correct me if I'm wrong.🙂💕 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtksGPSiPJI.htmlsi=ePl_HiJb8Vj-zDxo
I happened on this video because I was looking for a different stich to make a couple scarves for my grankids.(22 & 10). This is perfect. It's unusual but not too difficult. I've been crocheting for many years. But I'm only good with scarves and blankets. I subscribed, so maybe I can try different projects. Thanks!
I'm so glad you found this video! It's such a fun stitch. I have a pumpkin that uses the same stitch- although I know it's not pumpkin season anymore. And I'll be releasing a matching ear warmer for this scarf using the same stitch! Also, a blanket idea is brewing. So I'm sure you'll enjoy that as well.😁💕
Did you mean crochet? I don't knit, but I would love to do a crochet tutorial on a mitered square for you, and you can continue that into a blanket, but I'll have to learn how to do it first, haha 🙈. I had to look up what it was. Thank you for the request. This looks so interesting, and I'm so excited to learn it and share it with you! I'm working on a corner to corner blanket pattern at the moment, so that will be coming in the future as well.🙏💕
That's a bummer!😕 I'm not sure why the links aren't working on your end. I just checked, and everything is opening up fine on the devices I've tried it on. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about these tech glitches. Thanks for reaching out, though.🙏💕
Can u pls give me the link to Michaels or show me a pic of what the yarn ball looks like pls as the link u put to get the yarn from Michaels is not opening
Hi! Sorry, RU-vid is making changes, so I'm not sure the link I give you will work, but we'll try. The yarn I used is discontinued, and I haven't found an exact self striping substitute. Any yarn will work, and I know people have used different ones and loved the scarf, but 2 popular ones are: 1. Any Caron Cakes yarn. They're all self striping. Chunky Cakes will give you the chunkiness and stripes. Cinnamon Cakes is thinner but has pretty colors. And Caron Colorama O Go Halo is so soft and pretty but thinner and fuzzy. Google them all to see what you like. Here is the link for Cinnamon Swirl Cakes at Michaels: www.michaels.com/product/caron-cinnamon-swirl-cakes-yarn-10706277?michaelsStore=6713&inv=6 2. Lion Brand Scarfie. This yarn has animal fibers in it, so I don't use it, but it is self striping. I would do a search to see where to find it and check the best prices. Hope that's helpful. Thanks for reaching out. ~Leisha💕
Hi Luna! I have an easy tutorial on a simple and cozy beginner hat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FBx2WWe27rw.html No hat with scarf sets yet, but I'll definitely keep sets in mind for future patterns.
As a beginner, I have to comment. Way to fast. You need to explain what your doing before you actually do it. I had to pause about 50 times and open another 3 Google searches just to get into the second row
Thank you!! What a beautiful scarf! Your explanations are what I've been looking for. I used to do a lot of crochet, and am just getting back into it. So your tutorial is great and inspiring! Bless you!
Awww thank YOU! This comment made my day. It took me a while to get the chain from hook, too, because I couldn't see that first chain. Glad this was helpful for you. Hope you enjoy my other tutorials as well. I have a matching headband/earwarmer video and pattern for this scarf coming out soon! I think you'll like it so keep an eye out!🙂💕
Just wanted to say thanks for this video❤ I wish I'd found it when I first started learning - showing how not to end up with a super tight chain, and showing how to actually see the stitches! 😂 Lol it seems obvious but I struggled so much in the beginning! I'm still pretty much a beginner and I just learned so much that i wasn't expecting to learn from this. Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm so glad you found this video helpful. I have a new video I just released for a matching headband with this scarf. Maybe you'd like to check that out. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtksGPSiPJI.htmlsi=XbYIaWzYPoHF7R5b Enjoy!💕
Thank you! Last week I released a new headband video that matches this scarf. And this morning, I released one showing you a great alternative to the magic circle.

I was confused by your referencing the stitch as a herringbone half double crochet - but as I watched closely it was a double crochet. The half double is pulling through three loops after you yarn over. Doesn't change the effectiveness of your video just had to realize the chain one after the double crochet.
Hi Donna! The stitch is not a double crochet because I'm not yarning over and pulling through the first 2 loops, then yarning over and pulling through 2 loops again as done in a double crochet. I am yarning over and pulling straight through the first loop on the hook, then yarning over again and pulling through the next two loops. Pulling straight through the first loop causes the stitch to slant which gives it a herringbone look. The chain 1 after that counts as its own stitch. If you look up Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch on RU-vid for reference, you'll see how Kool and different the stitch pattern turns out from a double crochet, which stands up straight up.🙂 Hope that clears any confusion.💕
Hi, thanks for this great video. I am from Indonesia. Your tutorial is very slow, step by step and i don't miss every chain until the end rows. I am a little bit confiouse about your double crochet is different, i usually get 4 loops, but is oke the result is good. Thank you very much.
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. The stitch is actually a herringbone half double crochet, which is why I have less loops than a double crochet. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching my video and commenting, it means a lot. 💕
Oh yay! Here's the link again to the video for the matching headband, just in case you need it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtksGPSiPJI.html Enjoy! 💕
Love that pattern! You explain so it’s easy to follow. My question is, I want to make soap savers with cotton yarn. Can I use this pattern for that? Thank you for this tutorial.
Hi Antonietta! Thank you. Yes, you can totally try this stitch pattern for soap savers using cotton yarn. You'd just have to see if the gaps work out in size (too big or too small). I've never done it, so I don't know. And you'd have to work out how you're going to seam it together. (Hmm you're giving me project ideas!😉) Let me know if it works out or not.💕
Great question! For this pattern, I would try the stitch with the recommended hook size on the yarn package, and make a small test square (a swatch). If I feel I want the stitches looser, I would go up a size. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions. And do send me photos of your scarf so I can share them!💕
So glad you thought so! Thanks! Always here if you have questions.There's a free pattern too written in plain english for beginners. It has a lot of great info and a stitch guide you can print out/save for the future as well! Dont forget to grab your copy! Enjoy!💕
Thank You for the tutorial it's very helpful, easy to understand and really explains alot. I'm wondering what the little scissors are? I've never seen anything like them before, newbie here.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. Haha the little scissors are yarn scissors. I'd never seen them before either. Got them in a set of inexpensive crochet hooks I bought from Amazon. It's linked in the description of the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!💕
Thanks for explaining properly as I always seem to get confused on first stitch and end stitch, so annoying as no-one seems to zoom in enough. Finally a pattern I can follow.
Hi, the yarn has been discontinued by Red Heart. One that people love for scarves is Colorama Halo O'go. It's thicker than the cakes, so soft, and the color changes happen subtly, so they're very beautiful. I haven't tried it in that yarn, but I've heard good things. The regular Colorama O'go is also gorgeous and squishy, but has more of a color-blocked look. If you're okay with a medium-weight yarn for a lighter scarf, any of the Caron Cakes would be pretty too because they are self-striping. I have tried Caron Marble Cakes and Love it! Hope that's helpful! Sorry about the yarn being discontinued.💕
@vietnga8202 Yes, that's absolutely fine! You can use what looks good and feels good to you. The bigger the hook the bigger and looser the stitches will be so you'll see more gaps. The smaller the hook, the tighter the stitches will be, with less gaps. 🙂💕
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 to you and your family. I am very very happy that I found your channel you are a wonderful beautiful person and you take your time teaching me new stuff. Thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas 🎄! Aww thank you for the compliment😊. So happy my video was helpful for you. I hope you enjoy my other tutorials as well. Let me know if you have any tutorial requests. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it. 💕
I love this question! I had to do a little experiment to answer it for you. I crocheted 2 squares approx 4"x4" using each stitch. My results were very close between the two stitches. I used a smidgen less yarn with the Herringbone hdc and got a little more height out of it. But your exact results will depend on your own tension. Hope that's helpful!!💕
Hello Leisha, your video just popped up on my RU-vid videos and I'm so glad it did. I know this is an older video, but I love it! I'm a beginner crochet'er and I love how well you teach! I'm subscribing and can't wait to see more of your videos, you are such a great and patient teacher! I'm going to look for some of your baby blanket videos if you have any. I love this stitch so I may make a blanket from this one. I also love your written patterns, they are so perfect and easy to follow! Thank you from the bottom of a beginners heart! :)
Thank you so much for this comment! I am over joyed that you find my videos and patterns easy and helpful. It's funny that you mentioned wanting to do a baby blanket. I'm working on my first baby blanket pattern right now! In the meantime, you can absolutely use this scarf pattern to do a blanket using a more suitable yarn. Just make it bigger! I will be releasing a complete video for a blanket using this stitch as well. I'm currently filming matching ear warmers to go with this scarf, so I hope you'll come back and check those out! I'll be posting updates on all these patterns in my community tab. I also post regular behind the scenes updates on my Instagram stories, if that's your thing.🙂@withloveleisha on insta. Thanks so much once again. ~Leisha💕
You're welcome! The pattern is linked in my pinned comment as well as in the description, but I think I see that you found it already. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Let me know if you have any questions. 💕
Hi Melodee, the double crochet is different from this stitch, the herringbone half double crochet. For a dc, yarn over, insert hook, pull up a loop, (3 loops on hook), yarn over again and pull through 2 loops (2 loops left), yarn over and pull through next 2. For this stitch (herringbone half double crochet), when you insert and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), instead of yarning over again, you would pull the 1st loop through the 2nd loop. Then yarn over and pull through both loops. That will be less confusing and you'll see the difference if you try them side by side. I think maybe I'll make a short video comparing a few of these stitches. Hope this was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. Don't hesitate to ask more questions or leave video requests! 💕
