The Crochet Loop Stitch Adds Texture to Any Crochet Pattern!

I love the loop stitch in crochet and love the texture it gives to projects. I have used it in the past to add faux hair to hats such as a cabbage patch doll hat or as a textured row in a blanket.

The possibilities are endless with this loops stitch.

The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Loop Crochet Stitch

I have had some questions about the yarn I used for this loop project, so I thought I’d address that. For this tutorial I used a worsted weight yarn but any weight of yarn would work with this stitch. I suggest any yarn from Lion Brand Yarn Company such as Vanna’s Choice, Feels Like Butta and Basic Stitch.

Crochet Loop Stitch Tutorial

Skill Level: Easy

Materials

  • Yarn – any weight will work but I like Vanna’s Choice or Feels like Butta by Lion Brand which are both medium weight four yarn.
  • Crochet hook – use a hook that the yarn label recommends. I used a 6 mm for this example.

Notes

  • The loop is formed on the back side of the project so the wrong side should be facing you when you are making a loop stitch.
  • At the end of every row remember to chain 1 and turn.
  • Written in standard US terms

The Loop Stitch Crochet Pattern Steps

STEP 1:

Chain desired amount and work a row of Single Crochets, Chain 1, Turn. (I used 20 in my sample)

    Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to find a good tutorial for the loop stitch and this finally helped it sink in. Thank you! I was wondering if I did the loops over a dowel or even a knitting needle could I do a row of them over it and then pull it out when I’m done?

    I love the look of this stitch. Can you tell me is after it’s finished to the loops pull if they are snagged? I guess I’m asking if they are “tight” or “loose” if pulled. Hope that makes sense. Thank you!

      Hi! They should be pretty tight after they are done! 🙂
