🐣For this pattern you will need to knit bobbles. Here's how to do it: (K1,P1) 2 times all in the same stitch. {4 sts} Turn & purl these 4 sts. Turn & knit these 4 sts. Turn & purl them once more. Now turn again and slip 2 sts, K2tog, pass the 2 slipped stitches over. You now have a bobble!🐰 {You may rejoice in its bunny tail-like cuteness.}
Lets begin! 🐰🐣🐰🐣
