Sample popcorn and bullion texture
A popcorn closes a group into a raised unit; bullion texture relies on multiple wraps. Both need their own sample for tension and consumption.

Before you start
Confirm whether the instructions use US or UK terms. On a smooth-yarn sample, mark the first and last stitch and note whether the turning chain counts.
Try this example
Place three raised units on a plain trial strip using the pattern’s exact instructions. Check that closing a unit has not added an unintended top stitch.
Check your result
- Count stitch tops separately from chain spaces and compare successive row or round totals. Lay the sample down without stretching it to inspect the shape.
- A symbol or familiar stitch name does not supply a complete construction. Use the project’s own counts, turning rules and joining instructions.
