Crochet Bobble Border WRITTEN PATTERN

USA STITCH TERMS

You can use any yarn and hook you would like.

Hook Size(s): according to your yarn

I used Hayfield Bonus DK with a 4mm Hook.


Abbreviations:

Ch = Chain

DC= Double Crochet

St = Stitch

Sl St = Slip Stitch

Special Stitch:

DC5TG= Double Crochet 5 Together: Yarn over hook, insert hook into stitch. Yarn over pull up a loop. Yarn over pull through two loops.

(with 2 loops still on hook) Yarn over insert hook into the same stitch. Yarn over pull up a loop. Yarn over pull through two loops.

(with 3 loops still on hook) Yarn over insert hook into the same stitch. Yarn over pull up a loop. Yarn over pull through two loops.

(with 4 loops still on hook) Yarn over insert hook into the same stitch. Yarn over pull up a loop. Yarn over pull through two loops.

(with 5 loops still on hook) Yarn over insert hook into the same stitch. Yarn over pull up a loop. Yarn over pull through two loops.

(with 6 loops still on hook) Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.

Attach your yarn to the project.

Chain 3.

Bobble: Working into the first Ch you made- DC5TG all into the same Ch.

Sl st into the next st.

It is up to you how close you want your bobbles to be on your project.

For mine, I spaced them out 5 stitches apart.

Sl St into the next amount of stitches, you want to space your bobbles.

Repeat around your project.


When coming to a corner, the only thing you might need to change is the stitch count you Sl St between bobbles.

Be sure to create a Bobble in the very corner, and add or subtract sl st between bobbles to make it work.

Tie off, and weave in any loose ends.

Happy Crocheting!
