Frequently asked questions
How do I work the popcorn stitch?
Work 5 dc into the same stitch, then remove your hook from the working loop, insert it into the first dc of the group, pull the working loop back through, and ch 1 to secure. This pops the cluster of dc forward to mimic a piece of popcorn.
How does the sleeve turn into a net bag?
The upper net section (Round 19 onward) is worked as *sc, ch 2, skip 2* around, creating an open mesh. Combined with the chain-45 strap, the sleeve folds up so the mesh forms a small net carry bag.
How are the vertical red and white stripes made?
The striped bucket body uses front post double crochet (FPdc) with color changes, which creates raised vertical lines rather than horizontal rounds, giving the classic popcorn-bucket striped look.
