After years of crochet and knit projects, I found myself with a HUGE stash of remnant yarn.
So many balls of yarn.
This striped herringbone blanket was a great way to whittle down the excess yarn I had hanging around. The Herringbone Double Crochet stitch is a simple variation on a double crochet and adds a nice texture.
See the simple blanket pattern and stitch tutorial below.
