Popcorn Points

I love larger doilies so decided to try my hand at designing one.  The mid section points seem to give it a 3-D, textured look, even from a distance.  If you find any errors, please alert me so I can make corrections.  

I think this will be my next year's State Fair entry!

Please share your photos on Ravelry!

Hook Size: 6 (1.80mm) metal hook

Thread: Size 10 crochet thread. Approx 700 yards (2 balls at 350 yds each).

Popcorn are made in the ch1 next to the prior row’s pc unless otherwise specified.

Row 1: 4dc into same st.  (For Beginning PC, do ch2, 3 dc in same st)

Row 2: remove hook from the loop that you were just working with.

Row 3: put the hook into the beg of the 4dc, right through the st and right through the loop.

Row 4: yo and draw through both loops on the hook like a sl st.
