Bobble Edge Tutorial
WARNING….This is the most fun edging ever and may become addictive!!
Unfortunately, this is not my own design, I have seen it on several projects and learnt the technique from this blog here.
I had so much fun adding it to my Happy Ripple, that I just had to do my own tutorial (which is photo heavy), so here it is, let me know how you go with it!
You will need a secure base to attach your bobble edging to, I did a row of treble stitches in cream, then a row of half trebles in shrimp as in the picture below.
If you want your bobbles to be a different colour to your secure base change colour now, attaching to any stitch. I used the same shrimp colour so did not have to change colour yarn. Ok, now that your yarn colour is decided on, we can start on the fun part… making the bobbles. Here we go!
Chain 7
The first 4 chains will be the first part of the V that the bobble is suspended from, the last 3 chains count as your first tr of your bobble. Ok, now you need to make a trtog (treble together) cluster… don’t worry I will talk you through.
First of all yarn around hook and insert your hook into the 3rd ch from the hook…
I shared this on my crochet pinterest board! Looks very thorough and I want to have a link back ot it when I decide to exercise the bobble edge option! 😀 Thank you!
