Pattern notes
- Keep in mind that, due to tension, you may need to add or skip a single crochet or two to properly center the bobble stitches.
- Please make sure to read through the pattern first before you start.
- Find yarn and felt accessories and more over at pinktomatocrochet.co.uk
- This pattern is worked in rounds if nothing else is said.
- This pattern is worked with yarn under sc – Insert your hook under the top two loops, yarn under, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops. This creates an “x” stitch.
- I use invisible decrease in my work - Insert your hook in the FLO of the next 2 stitches. Yarn over and pull through 2 of the 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook.
