Hook Size: I
Finished Size: 6 x 9 inches

• YO, insert hook into next stitch, pull through, YO, Pull through 2 loops
• YO, insert hook (in same stitch), YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops (3 loops on hook)
• YO, insert hook (in same stitch), YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops (4 loops on hook)
• YO, insert hook (in same stitch), YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops
• YO pull through all 5 loops

PATTERN NOTES:
*Chain 2 does not count as the first stitch
*I didn't write this in the pattern but I always do 1 Single Crochet after each bobble. It helps the bobble stick out and be more noticeable.
*If your new to crocheting bobbles, the bobbles will pop out on the opposite side.

Pattern:
Chain 19

Row 1: go into 3^rd chain from hook and do 1 Hdc, then do 1 Hdc in each stitch to end of row (17Hdcs)

Row 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23: Chain 2 turn, do 1 Hdc in each stitch across the row.

Rows 4: Chain 2 turn, Do 1 Hdc in first stitch, *do 1 Hdc in next stitch, do 1 Bobble in the next stitch* end with 1 Hdc in each of the last 2 stitches.
