Stitch Fun: Stacked Herringbone – It’s Double, but it’s Not
Today, we’re going to enjoy a bit of Stitch Fun – musing about a stitch, wondering about its name, and showing you how it’s worked.
Stitch Fun! is this series of stitching tutorials here on Needle ‘n Thread. In the series, we explore different embroidery stitches mostly as combinations or composites, used in different ways and offering a wide range of possibilities for further exploration.
I started the Stitch Fun! series back in 2012, and the list of tutorials is fairly decent. Not exhaustive by any means, but a good list to explore interesting stitches, combinations, composites, and techniques.
The whole point of the series has always been to have fun exploring stitches.
Today’s stitch exploration doesn’t really have a proper name that I can find. It’s a combination of two layers of herringbone, one of which is laced into the other. So maybe we could call it layered herringbone or something to that effect.
