Ndebele or Herringbone Stitch

This tutorial will help you get started with Ndebele or Herringbone Stitch. Herringbone has its name because after the "anchoring" row, which is in stack-stitch, the beads will arrange themselves at a slanted angle making for the characteristic >>> or herringbone effect. Herringbone will always have even-numbered rows because you work the beads in pairs.

Any even-count pattern that's been developed for loom technique will also work in Herringbone, whereas you cannot use Peyote or brick-stitch patterns.
