About This Technique

I have loved the fishtail design since I was a child. I used to make friendship bracelets out of embroidery floss that looked similar to these fishtail bracelets.

As I got older, I started looking at other fishtail bracelets like this beautiful sterling silver one from Emanuele Bicocchhi.

My Mom used to do my hair in the fishtail braid, shown in these styles.

So it’s about time to show how to make the fishtail design in crochet. For those who are familiar with techniques in crochet, the fishtail braid is basically a linked slip stitch. The way to start this cord is the same way I show how to make the double chain, sometimes called the half i-cord.

As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy this crochet fishtail braid! Donna Wolfe from Naztazia.
