In this paper, it is shown how a single stripe and a stripe phase grow from individual holes in low doping regime. In an effective low-energy description of the t-J model, {\em i.e.,} the phase string model, a hole doped into the spin ordered phase will induce a dipolar distortion in the background [Phys. Rev. B{\bf 67}, 115103 (2003)]. We analyze the hole-dipole configurations with lowest energy under a dipole-dipole interaction and show that these holes tend to arrange themselves into a regular polygon. Such a stable polygon configuration will turn into a stripe as the number hole-dipoles becomes thermodynamically large and eventually a uniform stripe state can be formed, which constitutes an energetically competitive phase at low doping. We also briefly discuss the effect of Zn impurities on individual hole-dipoles and stripes.
