Front Popcorn

Make 5 dc in one stitch (or sp).
|

Take your loop off of your hook (be
careful not to stretch the loop). Insert hook from front to back in
the first of your 5dc shell
|

Then re-insert hook into the loop of the last dc
(from which you removed it previously)
|

Draw
that loop through
the first dc. chain 1 here to close or secure
the stitch. This is the front side of your work. |
The Back Popcorn would be worked the
same, except you would re-insert hook in the first stitch from back to front.
That will put your popcorn on the same side if you are working popcorn rows one
after the other as in the photo below.

Back Popcorn

dc made and then into loop of last dc made
|

Popcorn will appear on the back
side of your work (which would be considered the right side of your
project) |
