This bobble border has two rounds one a round of single crochet and two the round of the
0:07
the bobble stitch so we can start off by doing a round of single crochet now as you can see
0:12
in this piece here I've got a yellow a yellow row of a single crochet here now in order to
0:18
make this stand out I worked into the back loops only here so you don't actually have to do this
0:22
so if you're like me having a round of colour that you want it to pop out then you can work
0:28
into the back loops only if not then you can just work into the stitch as normal it really doesn't
0:32
matter so if you're a beginner the stitch has a front loop here and a back loop here so I'm
0:39
going to be working only into the back loop but as I said before if you're working your border in
0:44
just one colour you don't need to do this you can just work into the stitch as normal okay so I've
0:48
got a slip knot on my hook and I'm going to just go straight in with a single crochet into this
0:52
edge here now it's my personal preference I don't like to join have joins in the corners but
0:59
if you prefer to to do it that way you can totally start in the corner it really it really
1:03
doesn't matter so we're going to work around this project with single crochets into each stitch
1:11
and you see just working through the back loop only it just makes this um the coloured round
1:15
of single crochet stand out but yeah you totally don't have to do that so just working around
1:21
and then we get into the corner here so we've got three stitches from the three
1:24
we strand in the corner we're going to put three single crochets into that center stitch
1:33
oops split the yarn again one two and three and then we're going to continue working around
1:43
all the way around our project so we're going to carry on single crochet in every stitch
1:49
three single crochets into each corner stitch okay I've worked all the way around my project
1:54
in single crochet and I'm just going to join with the slip stitch to this first single crochet here
2:02
now the bobble effect is created by actually working from the other side from the wrong
2:06
side of your fabric so we're going to flip over our work and then we're going to join
2:12
our work and you don't need to chain or anything here because this is the bobble border is made up
2:20
with slip stitches and double crochets so straight away we're going to do a double crochet into the
2:25
next stitch and then a slip stitch into the next stitch and we're going to repeat this
2:41
all the way around double crochet slip stitch double crochet oops slip stitch
2:56
you don't need to do anything fancy in the corners you just carry on around you don't have to put extra stitches in here the um the bobbles just kind of as you can see here they just
3:05
go around the edge of the corner quite nicely so just keep going all the way around your your swatch or your blanket okay I've worked all the
3:15
way around here and I'm just going to put slip stitch into that first slip stitch there and
3:21
fasten off now this border works with even numbers of stitches if you happen to not have an even
3:29
number you can just kind of fudge it at the end and slip stitch two together right at the end just
3:36
to bring that together alternatively if you prefer not to do that on the previous round I should have
3:42
told you this before really um when you're doing your single crochet round if you count all your
3:46
stitches before and you have an odd number you can either increase by one stitch or decrease
3:52
there you have your cute bobble edging
