Tips
When placing stitches onto a row with boxes,
First create your box for the border, then place 2 sts around each CHSP until the penultimate box where you only do 1DC, and then continue with your box for the border. (187 sts and 2 boxes) Make sure you have the correct sts again after completing this type of row.
When placing stitches onto a row with popcorns
Ignoring the border boxes, and also ignoring the popcorns, you will see there are 93 boxes, so place 2sts in each box and 1st on top of the DC done to finish the stitch repeat, and then end with the box for the border.
Make sure you have the correct sts again after completing this type of row.
