So the bobble sheep pillow was going to be “fun”, right? LOL! The pattern (IMO) “sucks rocks”. Three videos later (maybe 4), & combining techniques from 2 of them, I finally arrived at a bobble-stitch-in-the-round method that looks decent.

For bobble stitch, you generally appear to need a foundation row of single crochet, then a bobble row, then another sc row, bobble row, etc. You increase on the sc rows. The pattern has one bobble stitch on top of another (no sc rows!) with increases on the bobbles themselves (now that I look at the pillow pics, I can see the increases). The bobbles were pretty ‘flat’ too ... I want big FAT bobbles! I think I’ve got ‘em going on - fat ones. The math is fun ... need two sc for each bobble so that’s easy, but then you have to figure increases evenly across the round. Glad I made A’s in math & I also got an extra skein of yarn for each pillow!

If anyone can figure out and/or adapt a pattern, it’s you! :)
