DESIGN How To
These pictures provide a stitch-by-stitch visual for turning rows and making the popcorn stitches.

Row 1: Begin with a chain stitch (see pattern for proper number of stitches). These patterns call for placing your first single crochet
in the 3rd stitch from your hook

Continue the single crochet in each stitch to end (see pattern for proper number of stitches).

ROW 2:
You will place your first popcorn stitch
in the 3rd stitch from the hook. The
chain stitch is stitch 1 for this row.

Shows the completed row without the chain

stitch on the end. . . . chain 1 and turn your
work over for Row 2.

These popcorn stitches are made

by placing 4 single crochets in the 3rd
stitch from hook.
 The popcorn needs to recede to the back of your work. Take the hook out of the loop and insert it from the back to front. Insert
hook into loop and pull through.

Place one single crochet in next stitch followed by another popcorn stitch

Continue to end.

The following pictures show the end of

the row.

The final popcorn should be in the 3rd

stitch from the end.
Single crochet in the final two stitches. Chain 1 at the end of each row and turn your
work over to begin Row 3.

ROW 3: Place a single crochet in the 3rd stitch from hook and continue single crochets in each stitch to end.

The completed Row 3 should look like the picture below.

Chain 1, then turn and continue . . . until

done.
