🔁 Loop Stitch (ls) Explanation
Loop stitch creates the fluffy texture manually.
Insert hook into stitch, wrap yarn around index finger, pull both loops through, and complete as sc. Trim loops later if needed.
Alternatively, use pre-fluffy yarn (like faux fur or velvet), which gives an even fluffier look with basic single crochet.
