STITCH EXPLANATIONS

Chain 3 Picot Stitch (ch-3 pic)


Create three chain stitches from the point in your row where you want to add the
picot stitch. Insert your hook in the third chain from the hook. Yarn over and
draw the yarn through the stitch and through the loop on the hook.

Bobble Stitch (bo)


Double crochet into the stitch where you are going to make your popcorn but
leave the final loop on the hook. Repeat the previous step three more times so
that you have four not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch.
There will be six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all five loops. This
closes your bobble crochet stitch.

Sc2tog (sc 2 sts together)


Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop twice, yarn over and draw through all 3
loops on hook – 1 st decreased.
