Raised Herringbone Crochet Stitch Tutorial

The raised herringbone crochet stitch is worked using post stitches on the diagonal and creates an interesting raised zig-zag pattern on your project.

I think this stitch would be prefect to use on just about any project you wanted an all-over textured pattern on. A hat, baby blanket, or pillow cover is what comes to my mind first.
