Granule Stitch
The back side of the granule stitch has a flat finish however, the front side has little bumps or granules on it. Baby items would be great made from the granule stitch as this texture would be pleasing to their little fingers. I would suggest the granule stitch for intermediate stitchers.
Materials: Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
