Crochet Bobble Cardigan
The bobble obsession continues. This crochet bobble cardigan is definitely one of my most viewed videos on YouTube and I get some many requests for the written pattern. So here it is:
Materials needed:
11 balls of super bulky yarn
10mm crochet hook.
Bobble stitch (bst): yo, insert hook into st, pull up loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, insert hook into same st again, pull up loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops, yo and pull through all 6 loops.
The pattern:
Ch 52.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc to end of row. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 2, skip first st, slip st into next, *ch 2, skip next st, slip st to the next, repeat from * to end. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 2, slip stitch into the ch2-sp, **ch 2, slip stitch into the next ch2-sp, repeat from ** to end of row. Turn. Repeat this row until this back piece measures from your collar bone to your hip.
Front panel
With yarn still attached ***Ch 2, slip stitch into next ch2-sp, repeat from *** until you reach the middle of your back piece. Turn. You will now be only working on these sts. Turn.
Continue in pattern until this front panel is the same length as your back panel.
For the 2nd front panel attach your yarn to the first ch2-sp beside the last front panel that you just completed. Ch 2, slip stitch into that same space, ch 2, slip stitch into next ch2-sp. Continue in pattern until this front panel is the same length as the other panels.
Attach yarn to the bottom corner and sew up along the side leaving about 23cm from the top unworked. Repeat for other side.
Attach yarn to bottom corner of the inside front panel. Ch 2, dc in same space, then make 2dc into every ch2-sp on the bottom of the front panel, but when you reach around the back panel just place 1 dc into every stitch. Then when you reach around to the other front panel you will place 2 dc into each ch2-sp. Turn.
Ch 2 and fpdc, bpdc all the way around. Repeat his row one more time. Then dc all the way around the raw edges of the inner front panels and around the neck line. Then do 2-3 rows of fpdc, bpdc.
Cut yarn and fasten off.
