The Herringbone Double Crochet Section uses a variation on the double crochet stitch that has a more pronounced tilt. Your gauge for a herringbone double crochet may be different than that of your standard crochet, so consider changing your hook size to make this section the same size as other sections in this CAL.

This pattern is part of the Sectional Blanket Crochet Along, a mystery crochet along for a throw blanket crocheted in 7″ x 9″ (18 cm x 23 cm) sections, the size preferred by our charity partner, Warm Up America. New clues will be released on Fridays through December 16, 2022. Get more information on the Crochet Along and enter for your chance to win prizes here. Ravelry members can join us here to chat.
