How to Make a Popcorn Stitch
The popcorn stitch is one of many crochet stitches that create a three-dimensional look to the surface of the work. This stitch is commonly worked on the edges of sweater bodies and sleeves and also in various afghan patterns. The popcorn stitch is a twist on the basic double crochet, so if you have experience with that stitch, you can easily master this variation.
