GAUGE
11 sts x 4.5 rows = 4" in Double Crochet
Save time, check your gauge.
NOTES
Blanket is worked in the round. Where each rnd begins is fairly visible as the pattern is established, but using a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each rnd and moving it up as you go is an option.
Always skip the ch-1 on top of the popcorn stitches as they will not count as a stitch.
After completing a popcorn st, it’s helpful to push the popcorn forward from the back with your fingers so that it sits properly on the front of the fabric.
STITCH GUIDE
Magic Ring: Wrap yarn around your left middle finger twice, leaving a 6" tail. Insert hook under both strands and pull up a loop. Begin working directly into center of ring. This ring can be tightened later by pulling on the yarn tail.
Popcorn Stitch: Work 5 double crochets into indicated stitch, loosen and drop the loop from the hook. Insert your hook from front to back into the first dc of the group, grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull through the st. Ch1 to lock the popcorn in place (ch-1 does not count as a st).
