I love knitting and finding new easy stitch work is something I live for. That’s why I was extremely excited when I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across this Herringbone knitting pattern.
The Herringbone stitch is a quick and simple stitch make a fun pattern that with minimal changes from the normal stitch. Below is a step by step guide of how to the do the stitch and my pattern for Herringbone Scarf!

The Herringbone Knit Stitch (HK)
- Slip right needing into the back of two stitches on the left needle
- Wrap yarn around as if preparing to knit the stitches
- Pull newly made stitch through onto the right needle
- Slip one of the two stitches on the left needle off
The Herringbone Purl Stitch (HP)
- Slip right needing into the front of two stitches on the left needle
- Wrap yarn around as if preparing to purl the stitches
- Pull newly made stitch through onto the right needle
- Slip one of the two stitches on the left needle off
For the scarf, there are only two types of rows that are needed!
- HK until the last stitch, k1 (RS)
- PK until the last stitch, p1 (WS)
- Repeat rows one and two until desired length is reached (I like to make mine about 60 inches)
I like to finish scarf by doing edging on the side and adding tassels! But that for a different post! 😉
