Today we\u2019re going to teach you how to do the <\/span>Herringbone stitch<\/span><\/strong>. As this unique stitch tends to tighten up, equip yourselves with much bigger needles than the ones indicated on the label of the yarn you want to use.<\/span><\/p>

Take for example, we\u2019ve chosen our fabulous <\/span>Piuma yarn<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>and the recommended needles for it are n\u00b0 8 EU \/ 11 US but we\u2019ve gone for n\u00b0 10 EU \/ 15 US ones to do the Herringbone stitch.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

How to knit the Herringbone stitch<\/h2>

MATERIALS
<\/b>Piuma yarn<\/a> <\/b>col. Little Mermaid <\/span>100 g \/ 3.5 oz
<\/span>Knitting needle<\/span> <\/span>n\u00b0 10 EU \/ 15 US<\/span><\/p>

DIFFICULTY LEVEL
<\/b><\/span>Intermediate<\/span>
<\/p>

METHOD
<\/b><\/span>Cast on an even number of stitches.<\/span><\/p>

Row 1:<\/span><\/strong> purl
<\/span>row 2:<\/span><\/strong> right side of the work. Knit 1, inserting the right needle into the 2 stitches on the left needle, knit 1 and drop the first. Repeat for all the row. Knit the last 2 stitches of the left needle
<\/span>row 3:<\/span><\/strong> wrong side. Purl 1, insert the right needle into the 2 stitches of the left needle and drop the first stitch. Repeat for all the row. Purl the last 2 stitches of the left needle.<\/span><\/p>

Repeat rows 2 and 3 alternating them.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Have you ever come across a stitch quicker than this, yet so impressive at the same time? We haven\u2019t. Lovely, easy-peasy, and ideal for those who have little time on their hands. <\/span>Looking for that something extra? Our printed Piuma!<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of Piuma, check out the tutorial on the <\/span>English fisherman’s rib stitch<\/span><\/strong><\/a> which has also been done using our cherished pure merino wool sliver. The outcome? See for yourselves!<\/span><\/p>
