This tidy little 3-stitch bobble is found in many Japanese patterns. It uses the Central Double Decrease at its conclusion for a neat appearance. Try it and compare to other bobbles – this may become your new favorite!
Bobbles – Japanese version
I am sorry that my videos are not helpful to you. Many of the techniques can be found in my books with written explanations there. Happy knitting!
Any chance the directions are written somewhere, for those of us who can’t use videos (due to internet connections and hardware issues)? Trying to see what is going on when the video starts and stops and jerks around and “hangs” can eat up data usage limits, not to mention, be very difficult to follow.
I do appreciate that the videos are provided for those who like them, but not all of us do.
Yes, you will need two balls of yarn as the sheep area is worked in Intarsia. Watch my Intarsia video for a tutorial.
I am working on the Adorable ewe sweater. Should I have 2 balls of yarn so I can knit without carrying my main color across my bobbles? I tried that and found it difficult not to distort the body of the ewe
Thanks for watching my video! You can substitute this bobble for any standard one. Happy knitting:)
I just finished learning the regular bobble stitch for a poncho. I do like this version of a bobble much better. It is a neat & precision version compared to the other. Thanks bunches – i can probably substitute this version for the regular version? I’m using worsted yarn – would that make a difference?
