Popcorn stitch (PC) explained:
Work 5 double crochet into the same stitch, drop the loop from your hook, insert the hook into the first dc, pick up the dropped loop from the back and pull it through.
When a popcorn stitch is made at the beginning of a round, start with ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then work 4 dc into the same stitch. Insert the hook into the third chain of the ch 3, pick up the dropped loop and pull it through.
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked in joined rounds.
Each round begins with ch 1 (does not count as a stitch) and ends with a sl st joined to the first single crochet of the round, unless stated otherwise.
Work the first stitch of each round into the same stitch as the ch 1.
Note:
Place a stitch marker in the first stitch (not the ch 1) at the beginning of each round. This will help you identify where to join at the end of the round and avoid confusion.
The ch 1 and sl st do not count as stitches and are not included in the stitch count.
Size Adjustment Tip:
To adjust the width of the purse, increase or decrease the foundation chain. Ensure the total number of chain is a multiple of 3.
