The Herringbone Stitch Design
The herringbone stitch is a lovely thick textured stitch, great for blankets, scarves and coasters.
The stitch creates a densely woven fabric that is perfect for this set of coasters!
If you are not sure how to knit this please take a look at this tutorial – How to knit herringbone stitch.
This has both step by step photographs and a video tutorial to help you.
Why Not Add Fringe?
You can leave the coasters as plain squares or add some fringing.
This could be in the same colour yarn or in a coordinating colour to jazz things up a bit!
There is a video tutorial in the post to show you how to add fringing to the edges of the coasters.
You can also see the fringe tutorial on my YouTube channel here.
