bobble border tutorial
abbreviations
- CH – chain
- SL ST – slip stitch
- DC – double crochet
- REP – repeat
You will be making two cluster stitches and joining them together to form each “bobble”.
Cluster stitch:
- With the back side of your work facing you, CH 5. You can adjust your chain number if you prefer longer or shorter “legs” for your bobble, but in this tutorial we will be chaining 5.
- In 3rd CH from hook *begin a DC, (yarn over, insert hook, yarn over pull up a loop, yarn over pull through two loops on hook…) but do not yarn over and pull through last two loops on hook. REP from * two more times. (You will have 4 loops on hook) Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook. (This will give you a cluster stitch)
- CH 3
- Make second cluster stitch in the top (below left photo) of your first cluster stitch, join with SL ST in the base (below right photo) of first cluster.
- CH 2, attach with SLST approximately 1” from beginning base CH of bobble along the edge of your project. (below photo).
