What is the difference between popcorn stitch and puff stitch?

What is 3rd loop of HDC?
The 3rd loop is, to put it simply, the “yarn over” that you make when crocheting a hdc stitch. When you yarn-over and then pull up a loop to begin a hdc stitch, keep an eye on where that “yarn-over” goes.
How do you do the HDC puff stitch?
To make the HDC puff stitch you make a combo of “Yarn Over(YO)+insert hook+YO+pull through” into the same stitch. Depending on the thickness of the yarn you can make HDC puff stitch out of 3, 4, or 5 repeats of this combo. The more repeats you make, the thicker and stiffer the puff is and the more yarn it “eats” up.
What is HDC 3rd loop?
What does HDC in the 3rd loop look like? Crocheting in the 3rd loop of a hdc stitch pushes the top of the stitch forward so that the front and back loops of your stitch, which normally sit at the top are now visible at the front (or back) of the stitch. It creates a horizontal ridge of “v” shapes.
Is puff stitch the same as bobble?
Although they are different, the three stitches do have some similarities. They are all constructed by working groups of stitches in just one stitch from the previous row. They are also similar in that each stitch is closed at the top. The puff and bobble stitches tend to be worked on the wrong side row.
How many stitches is a puff stitch?
If you would like a thinner puff stitch, you can stop when you have 7 loops on your hook. If you would like a fatter puff stitch, keep going until you have 11 or 13 loops on your hook, bearing in mind that it gets VERY tricky to insert your hook into that same stitch after 4 repeats.
How many loops are in a puff stitch?
Some puff stitches have as few as five loops on the hook, while others may have 11 loops. Be sure to follow the instructions for the pattern you’re using.
