Popcorn Twist Cable Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

This crochet cable stitch features front post stitches twisted around popcorn stitches to create the floral vine patterning.

This unique crochet cable design would be the perfect embellishment to add to a blanket, pillow cover, scarf and more. You could even use this in a blanket alongside other crochet cable stitches.

Like most of crochet cable designs, this stitch is worked on the front side only with a background of half double crochet stitches. This creates a fabric that has pretty good drape and minimal holes.
