Week 1

Stitches (UK)

• bst bobble stitch (* yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * another 4 times (6 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through all loops on hook).
  
• ch chain
  
• dc double crochet
  
• RS right side
  
• WS wrong side
  

Tips and tricks

• Colour changing is done by working the last loop of the stitch that’s worked before the colour change in the new colour.
  
• In between the bobble stitches, crochet over the Catona thread with the Stone washed in order to keep the amount of loose ends to a minimum.
  
• In order to make the bobbles really pop, make sure to pull the next dc extra tight.
