A crochet popcorn stitch is a fun and textured stitch that stands out on your project.
To make it, you work several double crochets into the same stitch or space.
After completing these double crochets, you close them together, creating a little "pop" or raised bump on your fabric.
It adds a nice 3D effect to your crochet work and is commonly used for decorative purposes in various patterns.
