This looks like a crochet long loop / elongated puff stripe stitch worked in rows, with contrast-color single crochet rows between the textured rows. I’ll explain a clear, practical way to make this exact look.
🧶 MATERIALS
- Medium (worsted) yarn
- Color A: white (texture)
- Color B / C: green & red (thin lines)
- Crochet hook: 4–5 mm
- Scissors
✂️ ABBREVIATIONS (US TERMS)
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- yo = yarn over
- st = stitch
STEP 1: FOUNDATION
- Chain any EVEN number
Example:ch 20 - Insert hook in 2nd chain from hook
- sc in every chain across
- Turn your work
👉 This is your base row.
STEP 2: LONG LOOP PUFF ROW (WHITE – MAIN TEXTURE)
IMPORTANT:
Each puff uses ONE stitch and you skip the next stitch.
HOW TO MAKE 1 LONG LOOP PUFF (VERY DETAILED)
- Insert hook into next stitch
- Yo
- Pull yarn up VERY LONG
👉 About 2–3 cm (same height as photo) - DO NOT tighten – hold loop with finger
- Insert hook again into the SAME stitch
- Yo, pull up another long loop
- Now you have 3 loops on hook
- Yo and pull through ALL loops
- sl st immediately to lock the puff
✔ One oval “bubble” is made
CONTINUE ACROSS THE ROW
- Skip 1 stitch
- Make another long loop puff in the next stitch
- Repeat until end
- Turn
STEP 3: CONTRAST COLOR SINGLE CROCHET ROW (GREEN / RED)
- Change color
- ch 1
- sc in EVERY stitch across
- sc on top of puff
- sc in gaps
- Turn
👉 This thin row creates the clean color stripe.
STEP 4: REPEAT PATTERN
Repeat these 2 rows:
Row A: Long Loop Puff Row (white)
Row B: sc across (green or red)
Alternate colors however you like.
📏 TENSION & SIZE TIPS
✔ Keep all loops same length
✔ Use fingers to hold loops
✔ Don’t pull slip stitch too tight
✔ Smooth yarn shows texture best
❗ COMMON MISTAKES
- ❌ Loops too short → texture looks flat
- ❌ Forgetting to skip a stitch → pattern shifts
- ❌ Tight slip stitch → puff collapses
