BOBBLE PATTERNS IN ONE POST

HOW AN IDEA DEVELOPED...

from a Bobble Square to a hex and back to a Flower square again...

BOBBLE FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN 2011

The bag of Flowers l found have been made into a colourful flowery cushion front

border is 3 rows of SC, after joining with a row of the same sc in Lime green

With a red Bobble edging

Reminds me of a my Grannies vintage tea cosy hehe

The Flowers are a simple flat Flower petals made with 2 chain 2Trebles 2 chain and a sl st into next stitch and repeat, but when you add the leaves and back ground they curl up a bit so maybe the Bobble flower is better?

Love the mix of Lime with the red bobbles

Makes a simple crochet version of the pompom edging you can get on cushions today

JOIN AS YOU GO

When first hex is complete, make a second hex and joined as you go with round 5, using a sl st, after each st to join to the first hex.

In the ch1, point, replace the ch1, with a sl st, to join at the corner sps. and when joining a hex into the dip of 2 other hex's then sl st, into the join st. between the first 2 hex's, then cont. on and sl st, after each st, into to matching st.

miss the joining st, [dip of hex], sc in the 8 side sts, repeat, for all hex sides, points and dips.

Another possible option with a different Centre all together so long as you finish with 18 bobbles you can use the hex round and the joint round to complete.
