Trying to help with a crochet pattern requested on Facebook. Not sure if this is the correct answer to the pattern requested, but nevertheless it would make a nice textured puff-stitch-like pattern that wouldn't gobble up as much yarn as a puff stitch for a blanket or throw. I made up the name, Medium Stipple.
My swatch, made with Red Heart Super Saver yarn, Susan Bates 10 1/2 or K metal crochet hook, is below. (The swatch ended with a Row 3; see below for how to end a blanket.)

Using US terminology:
Foundation Chain: Chain an odd number + 1.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn (the beginning ch-1 does not count as a stitch). Working in the front loop only (FLO), 1 sc in each stitch.
Row 1: 1 sc in second ch from hook, 1 sc in each chain to the end of the row. There will be an odd number of sc.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn (the beginning ch-1 does not count as a stitch). Working in the front loop only (FLO), 1 sc in each stitch.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, *(1 sc in FLO of next st, 1 dc in FLO of the st BELOW the next stitch, skip 1 st)*, repeat from * to * across the row, 1 sc in the FLO of the last st.
Repeat Row 2 and Row 3 for desired length, then do one more Row 2, then one row of regular sc (not FLO) to end a blanket.
Recommendation: for a looser fabric use a finer yarn and larger crochet hook.
