Popcorn Stitch Square Pattern

Creating the Center Loop and First Round of Popcorn Stitches:

Start by making a slip knot and place it on your hook.
Chain 6 (ch 6).
Slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain to form a loop.
Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet, dc).

Make 4 more double crochets (dc) into the loop.
Remove the hook from the loop, insert it into the top of the initial chain 3.
Place the loop back on the hook, pull through the top of the chain 3.
Chain 1 to close the popcorn stitch.

Chain 3, make 5 dc into the loop, remove hook, insert into the first dc, replace the loop, pull through, chain 1. Repeat from * to * until you have a total of 8 popcorn stitches.
Join with a slip stitch to close the round.

Expanding the Square:

Chain 3 (counts as a dc).
Work 2 dc into the same chain 3 space from the previous round.
In the next chain 3 space, work 9 dc to form a corner.
In the next chain 3 space, work 2 dc. Move to the following chain 3 space and work 9 dc for the corner. Repeat from * to * around the square.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.

Finishing the Square:

Chain 1.
Work a single crochet (sc) in each of the next 2 dc.
At the corner, in the central (5th) dc of the previous round's 9 dc group, work a half double crochet (hdc), 4 dc, and another hdc.
Skip one stitch, then sc in each of the next 3 dc.
Repeat around the square, adjusting the stitches at corners as described.
Join with a slip stitch to the first sc made in this round.
Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Finishing:

Now that you have completed your popcorn stitch square, you can create multiple squares and join them to make larger crochet projects like blankets, bags, or even artistic wall hangings.

Tips for Joining Squares:

Use a flat slip stitch, a single crochet, or a whip stitch along the edges of the squares to join them.
Ensure your squares are aligned correctly to maintain the pattern flow.
