Yarn
Stylecraft “Special Double Knit”, 100% acrylic, 322 yds/295m per 3.5 oz/100g per skein: 2 skeins or 644 yds color Linen.
“Special Double Knit” is classified as a DK weight (size 3) yarn and is currently available in over 120 shades.
Available at LoveCrafts (aff link).

Yarn Substitution
I’ve used DK weight yarn (size 3) because I love this size. There’s a lot of yardage on a 100g skein of Stylecraft Special DK. You could use any yarn you like, using the hook size you prefer. You may need to make changes to the number of stitches and the amount of yarn required.
If you are unable to use Stylecraft Special DK, a nice substitution is Deramores Studio DK. It’s currently available in 23 shades. The skeins are smaller so you’ll need to make sure to get enough yardage.
Other Materials
Suggested Crochet Hook Size J-10 (6mm) or hook needed to meet gauge.
Yarn Needle for weaving ends.
Note that I’ve used a crochet hook size that’s larger than expected for DK weight yarn. This crochet stitch pattern is pretty dense and I needed to open it up a bit in order to give it some drape.
Gauge
In stitch pattern, approximately 14 stitches for 15 rows measures 4″ x 4″.
Working at a different tension may require additional materials.
Stitch Multiple
To make changes to the stitch count, make your initial chain any multiple of 7, then add 4.
Special Stitches
Note: When working post stitches, skip the corresponding stitch behind it.
Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc): Yarn over, insert hook to the side of the indicated stitch, move hook around the back of the stitch and out the other side of same stitch, yarn over, pull loop through, [yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook] twice.
Back Post Double Crochet (BPdc): Yarn over, with hook in back of work, insert hook to the side of the indicated stitch, move hook around the front of the stitch and out the other side of same stitch with the hook now again on the back of work, yarn over, pull loop through, [yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook] twice.
Popcorn (Pop): Work 3 double crochet in stitch indicated, pinch final loop with two fingers of non-hook hand, remove hook, place hook in top of first double crochet (under both loops) of the first of the three double crochet just made, place pinched loop on hook, pull that pinched loop through the top of the first double crochet.
