[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fwd: Braille on blanket

No, the popcorn stitch is four double crochets in the same stitch, then
whichever side you want the bump on you go behind the four posts and pull
the loop through tightening it with a chain

Boy that didn't make much sense. Look out Tunisian class, giggle.

Is popcorn stitch the same as the cluster stitch where you do a ton of yarn
