How To Crochet the Loop Stitch
Ever wondered how you can add texture to your crochet project? The loop stitch is an intimidating stitch to get started with, but can be simple and rhythmic once you get the hang of it! The stitch turns simple projects into textured masterpieces!
When I first started using the loop stitch, I had trouble getting my loops to “stick.” I spent so long figuring out the stitch and how to get the hang of it, but then my stitches all came loose in my project even though I thought I had it down! I now use the method I am sharing below and it really helps to lock my stitches into place!
The loop stitch is used in the beginning Block One of The Stitchwork Scarf. Learn each of the stitches included in this whimsical scarf design by checking out the stitch-a-long HERE!

To work the loop stitch, follow the steps below to create the stitch and ‘lock in’ the loop. The loops are worked on the front side of the work when you have the wrong side of the work facing up. This means the loops are worked away from you.
