The pattern I've come up with is based on others I've viewed online. But this is what worked best for me.

The Pattern
Chain 17
R1. DC into second chain from the hook. DC to the end (16 Stitches) Turn
R2. Chain 3 (counts as 1 TR throughout) TR to the end (16 stitches) Turn
R3. Chain 3 TR TR Popcorn, TR TR Popcorn, TR TR Popcorn, TR TR Popcorn, TR TR TR Turn
R4. Repeat R2
R5. Repeat R3
R6. Repeat R2
R7. Repeat R1
This gives a block of 7 rows - with 2 popcorn rows (4 bumps in each row)
Popcorn Stitch (There are many ways to do this stitch - this seems to give a decent bubble on one side and a flat surface on the back). See links above
5 TR into one stitch
Take the hook from the working loop
Put hook into the 2 loops of the first TR
Catch the loose working loop and pull it through the loop from TR1 on your hook
Originally, I completed each brick with an edge of Half Trebles and then stitched the blocks together.
This most recent rug is worked in columns of coloured blocks. So after completing the 7 row block, change colour to the joining colour and continue....
R8. Change colour. Chain 2. (counts and one stitch) Half Treble across the row (16 stitches). Change Colour. Turn
R9. (Same as R1....) Ch 1 DC into each stitch across row (16 stitches)
and so on.
I joined the columns with DC continuous join method. It's a little awkward, but I still prefer it to sewing blocks together. Lots of ends to sew in!!!
Finished of with 2 rows of Half Trebles around the border.
