Friday Homework for Lesson 258: Half Herringbone Stitch

'Soldiers on a march', 'People walking in a line', 'Something Cretan over this stitch', 'Would be good on Canvas'... 

I have heard many thoughts about the Half Herringbone Stitch. I prefer when the stitches are stacked close together and have a not-too-high neck.

Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart



Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth


This stitch is not so suitable for a curved line.

  1. Interesting stitch. I like it best on the aida, but all of your samples look good.

  2. Your scribble cloth looks amazing.

  3. I think maybe it works better on a curve with the legs on the inside, rather than the neck, but I agree - it does seem a rather unbending stitch!
