Crochet Bullion Stitch
The crochet bullion stitch is a multiple wraps around the hook and pulling through all of the wrappings so the yarn is swirling around the pulled through yarn. I have found success in using a latch hook verses a crochet hook in this manner.
The demonstrated video is for beginners, the pillow pattern below is for intermediate level crocheters.

Crochet Bullion Stitch Pillow
The Bullion Stitch Pillow was done with a conventional crochet hook. So the latching wasn't done. I spoke to the designer about the best ways to do this. The trick, in this case, was thicker yarn and patience. It's more patience than I have but give me the latch hook, I could hook all day, everyday! Whoomp, there it is!

Mikey thank you so much for making me laugh so hard I snorted this morning! You are so full of sass today and I love it! I. Going to definitely use this technique because the bullion stitch has been the bane of my existence for a couple years.
Finally, I think we should petition to have the the "latch hook" renamed to the "floppy thing hook". So much better!
You are amazing!

I agree that name is so much more fun
