It is also commonly known as Pigtail, Braid or under its original German name "Der Zopf".
The English name was mentioned by Lady Cadogan's Illustrated Games of Solitaire or Patience in 1914.
Start by building a central herringbone (or braid/pigtail) with 21 cards in the middle of the tableau.
Players are allowed to fill them with the last card from the herringbone if it does not fit to the foundations.
Both "Herringbone" and "Braid" can each refer to two other solitaire games that are played with quite different rules.
