Herringbone Stitch Knitting Pattern.
Work two stitches together, leave one of the loops on the left needle, and work it together with the next stitch, across the row. What characterizes the herringbone stitch is that two rows create one pattern, and the knitted fabric is quite thick and substantial. The technique used here requires you to knit 2 together through back loops on RS, and to wrap yarn opposite of the usual way when you purl 2 together.
