The 4th square to be released in the Hodgepodge Granny Square crochet along will introduce you to extended crochet stitches.
The Extended Single Crochet stitch is worked in between the stitches in the previous row to create the Pike Stitch; a textured open stitch on a smaller scale than other lacy stitches.
A small amount of care and attention is needed to ensure that the stitches are worked into the right spot to create the texture.
