Learn to Crochet: 3 Double Crochet Popcorn

I'm not sure why I'm writing a post for the 3 Double Crochet Popcorn stitch, but I am.  I made a schedule of the week's posts in my notebook, and I apparently wrote down that this would be a week for crocheted popcorn stitch tutorials.

"I keep your life from devolving into chaos.  You will obey me!"

Who am I to argue with the notebook?

(I almost never argue with my notebook.)

So that's today's video tutorial!


I don't know many crochet techniques, so I wasn't surprised that I'd never tried the popcorn stitch before.  I was surprised, though, that it wasn't as complex as I'd expected.


I was also surprised that I liked it so much!  I don't like bobbles in knitting, but I really like the extra bit of puffiness that popcorn stitches add to crocheting.


For me, the most difficult part was remembering to take my hook out of the loop (the knitter in me feels a little bit of panic every time I try it) so that I could pull the loop back through the first stitch.  And even that's not enough to complain about.

I've always thought that popcorn stitches had to be super poofy, but that's dependent on how many double crochets you want to work in each stitch.  Three double crochets don't make much of a popcorn stitch, but they still lend a nice bit of texture to crocheted fabric.


I like to think that even the notebook approves.
