"Poodle" Hair for Softies!

It's a popcorn stitch! Never having crocheted before (other than making a really long chain of single crochets), someone at a Girl Scout Trainers conference had to show me how. This is five single crochets, five double-crochets into a spot, then a tricky drop-the-stitch-and-pick-it-up-again thing, repeat, repeat, repeat.
