What Makes This Tutorial Stand Out

Project Type: Stitch Tutorial
Skill Level: Easy
Yarn Weight: Any
Hook Size: As recommended for your yarn
Stitches: Loop Stitch, Single Crochet

In this stitch, a loop is formed behind your work by wrapping the yarn around one or two fingers, a knitting needle, or any round object. The stitch is then completed like a single crochet, securing the loop in place. You can use this stitch to add soft texture to scarves, toys, or home décor projects.

Why Crocheters Like It

  • The loop stitch adds fun texture that looks great on both small and large projects.
  • It’s easy to learn and uses the same motion as single crochet with one extra step.
  • The loops are secure, so even if they shift during washing, the design doesn’t unravel.
