Ever tried the Popcorn Stitch? Whether you have or have not, the BUBBLE GUM EASY CROCHET AFGHAN PATTERN may be just what you’re looking for!

This beautiful afghan uses strategically-placed groupings of popcorns to create a stunning display of chic texture. It’s great for beginners but even an experienced crocheter will have fun with this one. This pattern is perfect for anyone attempting the popcorn stitch for the first time. Its solid stitch design makes it warm yet very flexible, perfect for snuggling up.

The finished afghan is 56.5x67.5” but is easily adjustable to different sizes with notes included in the pattern on how to do so. There is also a stitch guide for the popcorn stitch as well as pictures to guide the beginner.

Required items are approximately 3000 yards of a worsted weight acrylic. Note: Adjustment from the original size of the pattern will likely result in a varying amount of yardage needed. (Featured is Mainstays Basic in color Pink.) Also needed are a USJ10.0/6.00mm hook, tapestry needle, and scissors.

Try this design out and I’m confident you’ll find it just as fun and rewarding as I did. And, you’ll wind up with a finished piece that’s sure to be beautiful in any color to match any decor or even as a breathtaking gift.
