SPECIAL STITCHES
Front post double crochet decrease (fpdc dec): (Yo, insert hook from front to back to front around post of next st, yo, draw lp through, yo, draw though 2 lps) around each of the sts indicated, yo, draw through all lps on hook.
Popcorn (pc): 4 dc in specified st or sp, remove hook from lp, insert hook in first dc from front to back, reinsert hook in lp and draw through st.
Picot: Ch 3, sl st in top of last st made.
