In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the lacy striped popcorn stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a closed popcorn stitch. The lacy striped popcorn stitch is a repeat of four rows. The fabric turns out lacy, and it has a beautiful texture.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100 % 8/4 50 g, color: 3304 (lilac), and a 2.0 mm hook.
