The basic concept is like a drinking game: make a list of things that happen a lot in TV shows, CNN debates, etc, and every time one of the things of the list occurs, you make a popcorn stitch, cable, or whatever. The result is delightfully random and a fun memory, not to mention a cool story. The mastermind of this concept has an eBook that you can buy where there are several cool project ideas, I haven't bought it, I'm not much of a knitter, but I still recommend it if you are.
I took her concept, and came up with a game crochet project.
Here's the "pattern": (it's not much.)
Chain some amount between 20 and 30. The scarf I made is 30, and it is a little thick. I usually go with 25
Row 1: chainless starting dc, sk 1 chain, dc across
Row 2-∞: chainless starting dc, dc across making a popcorn stitch every time an item on the list occurs.
It is as simple as that.
This can be applied to any TV show, but I made mine while rewatching Parks and Recreation Season 1 & 2.
Make a popcorn stitch every time...
