Popcorn stitches aren’t just fun to work with, they also give your crocheted project a fun and playful look with a bubbly texture.
A popcorn stitch consists of 5 double crochets made in the same stitch that come together to create the popcorn stitch, making this stitch a lot less complicated to crochet than it looks.
How to crochet the popcorn stitch
- Do 5 double crochets (dc) in the same stitch.
- Pull on the loop on your hook to make it nice and long, and remove your hook.
- Count the stitches and reinsert your hook into the first of the five double crochets you just made.
- Catch the long loop with your hook and tighten the yarn.
- Pull the (once) long loop through the other loop on your hook.
- And now you have your first popcorn stitch!

Tip! Popcorn stitches use more yarn than typical stitches, so make sure that you have enough yarn for your popcorn project.
