In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make a wide herringbone stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The bunny ears stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric has a beautiful texture, and it is quite light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100 % 8/4 50 g, color: 4950 (linen), and a 2.0 mm hook.
