Popcorn Ridge Crochet Pattern
Introduction
The Popcorn Ridge stitch combines the soft dimension of popcorns with structured ridges — creating a rich, touchable texture. Perfect for pillows, bags, scarves, and anything you want to pop (literally). This is the stitch you use when “flat” just isn’t good enough.
