Popcorn Crochet Bedspread Designs (Dover needlework series)

The popcorn stitch is made up of a number of stitches worked in the same stitch and joined together. Making a popcorn stitch is quite easy if you have the proper directions on how to do so which this book provides. All you do is make a cluster of double crochet stitches in the same stitch.
