One of the first crochet techniques I learned, after the foundation stitches, of course, was how to do the popcorn crochet stitch. The popcorn crochet stitch, if you’re not familiar, is a little bobble of yarn that pokes out from the work. It’s great for adding pops of color, texture and even designs into your crochet.
Look at what learning the popcorn crochet stitch can do for your work.
(P. S. If you’re new to the popcorn stitch, take a look at a tutorial for how to do the popcorn crochet stitch before you take on these to-die-for patterns.)

Freeform Crochet Pillow
The popcorn stitch certainly comes in handy when you’re scrumbling! For those who’ve never heard of scrumbling, it’s the process of making your own unique freeform crochet fabric. That fabric can be turned into almost anything, from pillows like the one pictured above to totes, scarves, and embellishments. Enroll in the Freeform Crochet class with Myra Wood and you’ll be on your way to scrumbling your very own crochet fabric to make whatever you’d like, including this pillow.

Whirl Cowl
Tired of the same old cowl season after season? Popcorn stitches — and a great color palette — set this cowl apart from the other plain-Jane cowls. It’s a total stash buster, too, since you only need a few yards of each color.

Polka Dot Capelet and Cowl Combo
I’m a fan of polka dots, so this capelet made me very happy. Popcorn stitch helps create the 3-D polka dots on the capelet, and it also gives the capelet a little more warmth. Sizing covers everyone from kids to adults. How about a matching one for you and the kiddo in your life?
