Materials: (what I used)
4mm hook
100 % viscose yarn (I got it for Christmas in this kit, and it is really cool!)
Stitches used:
slip stitch (sl st): insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook.
bobble: yarn over, insert hook through next stitch, yarn over, hook back through stitch (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops left on hook). Then yarn over and insert hook through SAME STITCH, yarn over, hook back through stitch (4 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 loops (3 loops left on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
Here is a video link for the bobble stitch.
double crochet (dc): yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook ( two loops left on hook), yarn over and pull through remaining two loops.
To Start:
chain 4 and join to form a ring with a slip stitch. You will be working in this ring for the first round.
Round 1:
Chain 3, then work 1 dc into the ring (this counts as your first 'bobble'), chain 1
Repeat between ** 6 more times, you should have 8 bobble stitches total. Join with sl st in the top of your chain 3 when you come back to it. Finish off.
Round 2:
You will be working out of the chain 1 spaces between the bobbles for this round.
Join your new color by making a secure knot close to the stitches. Insert hook through nearest chain-1 space of the previous round and draw the new color yarn through to the front.
Repeat between ** 6 more times, working your way around the circle, making a total of 8 'dc clusters'.
Make a sl st into the 3rd chain of your initial chain-3 to join, finish off.
Round 3:
Join new color by knotting close to the work. Insert hook into the nearest space between clusters and pull the new color yarn through to the front.
Chain 4 (counts as 1 dc and chain 1 space)
Into the same space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms part of a corner cluster, you will come back around to complete this coner at the end of the round.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc, chain 1. This forms your second corner cluster.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms your second side cluster.
Continue working your way around as follows:
Into the next space work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc, chain 1. This forms your second corner cluster.
Into the next space 3 dc, chain 1, this forms your third side cluster.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 2, dc 3, chain 1, this forms your fourth corner cluster.
Lastly, work 2 dc into the very first space you started out in. This joins with your initial chain 3 to complete that part of the first corner cluster.
Make a sl st into the 3rd chain of your initial chain 3, finish off.
Round 4:
You will be working out of the chain 1 spaces between the dc clusters of the previous round.
Join in the new color by knotting close to the work. Insert hook into the space between the corner clusters of the previous round and pull the new color yarn through to the front.
Chain 4 (counts as 1 dc and chain 1 space)
Into the same space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms part of a corner cluster. You will come back to complete this corner at the end of the round.
*Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms a side cluster.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms an additional side cluster.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3dc, chain 1. This forms your second corner cluster.*
Repeat between ** twice more.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms a side cluster.
Into the next side space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms an additional side cluster.
Lastly, work 2 dc, into the very first space you started out in. This effectively joins with your initial chain 3 to complete that part of the first corner cluster.
Make a sl st into the 3rd chain of your initial chain 3, finish off.
Into the next space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3dc, chain 1. This forms your second corner cluster.*
Repeat between ** twice more.
Into the next side space, work 3 dc, chain 1. This forms an additional side cluster.
Lastly, work 2 dc, into the very first space you started out in. This effectively joins with your initial chain 3 to complete that part of the first corner cluster.
Make a sl st into the 3rd chain of your initial chain 3, finish off.
Last, weave in all ends.
