Bobble Stitch: Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. Note that to complete the double crochet you would yarn over again and pull through the last two loops, but you are skipping that step here.

Repeat the previous step four more times so that you have five not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch. There will be six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all six loops. This closes your bobble crochet stitch.

Row 6-8 DC Rows: Slip stitch into next dc, *ch3, dc next dc, (3dc, ch 2, 3dc) into first ch2 space, dc into next 6 dc, skip next 2 dc, dc into next 6 dc, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) into next ch2 space* repeating around

Row 10-12 DC Row: Red

Row 13 Bobble Stitch Row White

Repeat rows 6-13 one more time (or two more times if you prefer a longer length).

Enjoy!
