It’s important to work the popcorn stitch on the right side of your work since the back of the popcorn stitch is smooth.
Don’t pull on the working yarn or you’ll lose the loose loop. If you want the popcorn to pop to the back of the work, insert your hook from back to front into the first double crochet stitch.
You’re essentially making a slip stitch to gather all of the double crochet stitches together.
Try alternating colors for the squares if you’d like a brightly colored blanket or afghan.
Popcorn stitches look really cute on cardigans or sweaters for babies. Using the popcorn stitch all over gives your item a lacy look that’s great for delicate shawls or wraps.
Consider attaching crocheted flowers to your pillows or blankets.
Make the scrubbies any size you like and use sturdy cotton yarn so it’s easy to wash and dry.
