popcorn stripe blanket

I saw a knit blanket that had large and skinny stripes of two different colors coming together in the middle. I liked the idea but wanted to do it with crochet. super quick, super soft blanket. It got its name when I noticed the similarities between the blanket (as I was weaving in all those ends) and the bowl of popcorn my girl was stuffing her face with.
