Pattern Notes
- Each popcorn consists of 5 trc.
- Each square consists of 8 rounds but you can of course make the square as large or as small as you'd like.
- Colour scheme: I always like the front and back of a cushion cover to be different so I changed the order of the colours around to create two different colour schemes. Please note that if you want the sides to be exactly the same, you'll need more than 3 balls of the colour you use for Rounds 4 and 8.
