BULLION CROCHET STITCH

The Bullion Crochet Stitch is a striking and textured stitch that creates long, coiled loops resembling a bullion knot. This stitch adds a decorative flair to projects like pillows, scarves, or bags. Try a clever idea of taping two crochet hooks together, so that it’s easier to pull the yarn through the wraps. The thickness of joined tools create a lot of room for the hook to travel, making it much easier to finish the stitch. Alternatively you can try using a latch hook instead of crochet hook. This a very clever tool, used mostly in rug hooking. It has a hook with a clasp, which opens and closes as you work with it. The choice is yours.
