Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 258: Half Herringbone Stitch

A good way to expand your collection of stitches is to cut a well-known stitch in half! Guess what happens when you divide the Herringbone Stitch - you get Half Herringbone Stitch.

and this is my photo tutorial:

I stitched on Aida fabric whose holes will show you clearly where

the needle goes in and out. 

There are only two movements:  down diagonally,

or horizontally from right to left.

Anchor at the end of the line.

You can easily vary how high or how crammed the stitches are.

Homework:

These three samplers are awaiting 1/2 Herringbones!
