As the commenters noted below, there are no instructions above for MB (make bobble). I looked for the original pattern on sugarncream.com but did not find it. There is another pattern on allfreeknitting called Sunflower Dishcloth Pattern. That one also has MB but explains how to do it, so I would use that pattern instead.
