Bobble Hat Pattern

Well folks, here it is! My bobble hat pattern.

Yarn: Aran/Worsted
I used Bamboospun which is distributed by Hobby Lobby.

Needles: 7 DPN’s

Sizes: Preemie (Baby, Toddler, Child, Woman, Man)       (I'm not sure how comfy this will be for a preemie or infant that cant hold their head up.)

The bobble (B) stitch: k5 times into 1 stitch. turn work and purl into those 5 stitches. turn work again and k2tog, slip it back onto the left needle and slip remaining 3 stitches over the k2tog stitch. slip back to right needle. (remember to knit tightly before and after the bobble stitch so there isn't a huge gaping hole.)

Decreasing

When you want to start your decreases, use this formula

Continue bobble stitch pattern from wherever you currently are in the pattern.

1 ssk after each bobble.

Continue pattern until there are 8 sts left on needles.

Pull yarn on a needle through the 8 loops and secure.

**optional, make a huge pom pom and pop it right on top.
