pop popcorn Work 5 dc in the same st. Remove hook from loop and insert it into the

st)
BL back loop

Notes
• The first st on each round is worked as a standing st, or is replaced by:
▪ sc ch 1
▪ hdc ch 2
▪ dc ch 3
▪ tr ch 4
Or use your preferred method
• Close each round with an invisible join, or sl st to the first st
• Stitch count in ( - ) at the end of each round
• Color code (A-E as above) at the beginning of each round
• Not all skipped stitches are mentioned in the pattern. If a stitch isn’t mentioned
it should be skipped
• Your work may become slightly wavy, but will be flat after blocking
