Please note that while all the patterns below incorporate the “loop stitch”, they do not all describe how to do the stitch in exactly the same way. There are quite a few variations out there. However, whether you learn the crochet loop stitch from the pattern, or from my tutorial or someone else’s, I think you can incorporate your own preferred way of doing it into any of these patterns.
