Crochet pattern
Popcorn section 2 (Rows 87-98)
We’ve worked popcorns before, right at the start of the blanket. However, this time we’ll be working the popcorns in the same Colour as the base row. They might not stand out as much visually, but that means that it’s all about the texture. Plus, the pattern is much easier to read without all those colour changes.
Do you see how the popcorns are exactly aligned in between the popcorns of Row 88? That is because we’ve allowed for an uneven numbers in between the popcorns, which means there is an actual center stitch (stitch no. 5). And because we’ve worked both rows from the same (Right) side, the stitch placement is exactly the same, something that wouldn’t have been the case if you worked popcorns on a WS row. So if you ever create a blanket with a popcorn pattern, be sure to make all your bobble stitch rows on the same side. I always solve this by adding 1 row of ‘plain’ stitches (such as hdc’s or dc’s) in between bobble rows. Hello, beautiful geometry!
Granny Cluster section 3 (Rows 99-105)
The Granny clusters are back! You got this, right?
