There are different ways to make a raised crochet stitch and they do have  
different names for these stitches.  I have heard of what you are  
describing.  I have done double crochet and you do several in the same  stitch and 
not go thru the last loop until the last yarn over and then go thru  like 4 
loops.

Is  popcorn stitch the same as the cluster stitch where you do a ton of 
yarn overs  in the same stitch and pull through them all?
