Materials List

  • Knitting Needles

Instructions

  1. Work in pattern to the point that calls for the bobble.

  2. Yarn over and knit into the stitch without sweeping the old stitch off.

  3. Repeat step 2 two more times, so you'll have a total of three yarn over/knit combinations in the same stitch.

    Then slip the loop of the old needle off.

  4. Turn your work to the WS.

  5. Slip 1 and purl 5 of the stitches that you made into the one old stitch.

  6. Turn back to the RS.

  7. Slip 1, knit 5. 

  8. Turn back to the WS.

  9. P2tog three times through these six stitches.

  10. Turn to the RS.

  11. Slip 1 and k2tog.

  12. For the final two stitches, pass the slipped stitch over the k2tog.

  13. In the next row, when you reach where the bobble stitch is in the previous row, simply purl through the back loop to help the stitch stay in place.
