Crochet Bean Stitch vs. Crochet Mini Bean Stitch (Elizabeth Stitch)

What is a Bean stitch? It’s a type of Bobble stitch – it’s basically a Puff stitch without the first yarn over. Omitting the first yarn over creates a denser stitch, which is more oval than the Puff stitch (hence the name “Bean”).

The Mini Bean (which is also called the Elizabeth Stitch) and Bean differ by simply working one less yarn over and pulling up a loop, which creates a smaller bean stitch. If you are new to these stitches, you should check out this Bean Stitch crochet tutorial and Mini Bean crochet tutorial.
