Popcorn Stitch (pc)
Work 3 sc stitches into the specified stitch. Remove your hook from the working loop of yarn. Insert your hook through the first sc stitch worked (under both the front and back loop of the stitch). Place the working loop of yarn back on your hook and draw the loop through the first stitch.

Notes:
- Pattern is written with a ch 4, sl st to form a ring to begin. I prefer to use a double magic ring to begin, as it is more secure. Either is acceptable for this pattern.
- Sl st to join is worked under both loops of the stitch and pulled tightly (to make it as small as possible).
- Sl st does not count as a stitch and we do not work into it.
- The first st of each round is worked in the same stitch where we just worked our sl st to join.
- The ch 1 at the end of every round does not count as a stitch.
