herringbone pattern
V-shaped repeating design
A herringbone pattern consists of rows of short parallel lines arranged so that adjacent rows slant in opposite directions, creating a zigzag effect resembling the skeleton of a herring fish.
The pattern appears in textiles, brickwork, and parquet flooring: The kitchen floor was laid in a herringbone pattern.
In knitting, herringbone creates a distinctive chevron texture.
