When working this stitch in a solid yarn it is pretty but working it in a variegated yarn it is stunning! I made a shawl and have never had so many compliments.

Have done this stitch many times and i agree, practice, practice and more practice. Also, test this stitch on the yarn before you go into full production, some yarns are not suited for this stitch. Hannet

I have done this stitch for years calling it the "roll stitch". My grandmother made doilies with this stitch. I have better luck with thread "20 wraps" than yarn though I must say. It makes up gorgeous.

Dear fellow crocheters

I struggled with the bullion stitch until I saw the two clever methods shown in:

Art of Crochet by Teresa - How to Make the Crochet Bullion or Roll Stitch, on youtube. Highly recommended tutorial!

I saw a suggestion to make this easier on Pinterest: Put a length of drinking straw on your crochet hook. When it is time to slide all the loops off the hook, move the straw up so it is covering the hook. The hook can't grab the loops. I haven't tried it - but I will if I do a bullion stitch pattern - it make sense!
