This Bobble Helmet was designed as a customer pattern request, and I decided to make it available for everyone. Hope you enjoy making this funky helmet. :-)

MATERIALS

Regular/Large – J hook.
Approx. 118m/130yds.  Aran Weight Yarn.

US to UK Stitch Conversion

DC (double crochet)= TR (treble)

SPECIAL STITCHES
5-dc Bobble
*Yarn over, insert hook into st, yarn over, draw loop through st, draw
through 2 loops on hook*, repeat this 4 times more, You should have 6
sts on hook. Draw yarn through all 6 sts and ch 1. 1 5-dc bobble made.

Double Treble (DTR)
Step 1: Yarn over three times, then insert hook into next stitch.
Step 2: Yarn over hook and draw yarn through stitch (there are five
loops on the hook).
Step 3: *Yarn over and draw through two loops on hook* (there are
now four loops remaining on the hook). repeat from * to * 3 more
times. This completes one double treble crochet stitch.

What a sweetheart to share those patterns!

Hey, my son is in Scotland right now. He's been to France, Portugal, Holland, etc. but is in Scotland right now. He's loving it. Is threatening not to come home. :-(

Zu said...

lol He has to come home sometime! It is a lovely place to visit though. You ever been?

I know it has been awhile since you posted this, but I've started working on this project and have ran into a snag and wanted to see if you had or if maybe I'm reading the pattern incorrectly.

In the 5-dc Bobble instructions(US), you say there's a 1 ch once you pull through all 6 loops. This adds 6 to the total end count.

Should there not be the extra chain at the end of the bobble?

I love the pattern though, really beautiful! =)

Hi Tera,

Thanks so much for the compliment and using my pattern, I really appreciate it. :)
As for the bobble, the directions just meant that after you pull through all 6 loops, you then chain 1, which finishes off the bobble. Is that what you were talking about?
