DOUBLE HERRINGBONE BAND

I love the herringbone stitch because what you create with it always feels as soft and supple as satin. This bracelet feels wonderful against your skin and because you will be using the double herringbone stitch, it works up twice as fast. Although familiarity with the herringbone stitch would be helpful, this pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions.
