Popcorn Movie Blanket

The popcorn edging is the real star of the Popcorn Movie Blanket. It turns a simple striped blanket into a real showstopping treat!  Then with just a fold and a tuck, the blanket become the Popcorn Pillow! Its bright red and white stripes become the bucket and the buttery yellow kernals gather into the mound of popcorn! Yes! Its built in pocket, keeps the folds in line and the blanket ready for storage or display.

So easy to crochet, the blanket makes a perfect beginner project.  But if you need help with the edging, watch the video tutorial  How to Crochet Popcorn Edging for more details! In my variation of the popcorn stitch, each kernal appears rounder and fuller so the edging has a real “pop” and it folds slightly over itself to fill your bucket perfectly!

The blanket measures approximately 42 x 60 inches. Crocheted with readily available, easy-care acrylic yarn, it is meant to be used and surely will be a movie night must-have! It makes the perfect gift for teachers, students, men, women, children and those who have everything because everybody loves a good movie! And everybody will love their own Popcorn Movie Blanket!
