Written Pattern

Ch 37

Row1: sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc crochet in every ch.

Row2: ch1, *yarn over, insert your hook in the same stitch from ch2, work an incomplete dc, make 4 more incomplete dc, when you have 6 loops on your hook, pull through all loops, sc in the next stitch#, repeat from* till # until end of the row.

Row3: ch1, sc in every st till end of the row.

Row 4: ch1, sc in the 1st st, *bobble in the next stitch, #sc in the next st, repeat from * to # till end of the row.

Row 5: repeat row 3

Row 6: Repeat row 2.

Row 7: Repeat row 3

Row 8: Repeat row 4

Keep alternating rows 2 and 4 to obtain the same look as in the pictures means the bobbles are not on top of each other but in the middle and between every bobble row is a single crochet row until you obtain the length you want.

In the last row of single crochet, make 2 sc in the last st, sc in every st from the side and around the whole piece making sure you place 2 sc in the corners.

This yellow piece is made of 24 rows total between single crochet rows and bobbles rows.

Border:

Row 1: From the last st, make a sc in the same st and sc in every st on the side panel of the 1st worked piece.

Row 2: Ch1, bobble, sc, bobble till the end of the row

Row 3: ch1, sc in every st.

Row 4: ch1, sc, bobble, sc , bobble. Repeat.

Row 5: repeat row 3

Row 6: repeat row 4.

For the rest of the sides repeat the same process from row 1 to 6 (border). Fasten off

Note: in the last border I have done only 2 rows of bobbles however feel free to make 3 more or less.
