Stuffing

Pattern:

Starting Chain:

Make a slip knot, chain 19 (or any odd number + 2 for desired size).

Row 1:

Half Double Crochet (HDC) into the third chain from the hook and each chain across. You should have 19 HDC.

Row 2 (Popcorn Stitch Row):

Chain 1, turn. This chain does not count as a stitch.
Double Crochet (DC) into the first stitch.
Popcorn Stitch in the next: 5 DCs into the same stitch, remove hook, count 5 DCs back, insert hook from front to back, pull loop through, slip stitch to complete the popcorn.
1 DC in the next stitch, then Popcorn Stitch in the following stitch. Repeat - across. End with 1 DC in the last stitch. You should have 9 popcorn stitches.

After Row 3:

Chain 1, turn. Work 1 HDC in each stitch across (including the tops of the popcorn stitches and DCs), totaling 19 HDC.

Row 4:

Repeat Row 2.

Row 5:

Repeat Row 3.
Repeat the pattern (Row 2-5) until you have a total of 8 rows of popcorn stitches, making sure to end with a popcorn row.
After the final popcorn row, work 2 more rows of HDC (to mirror the starting sequence).
