Eyelet Twigs and Bobbles



I am currently using this pattern on the front of a baby sweater. Its a little more complicated than some of the other stitches shown previously, but the effect is well-worth the effort.

Row 1: K2, yf, k3tog, yf, k3, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, k5
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K1, yf, k3tog, yf, k5, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, k4
Row 4: Purl
Row 5: MB, k5, yf, k3tog, yf, k1, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, k3
Row 6: Purl
Row 7: k5, yf, k3tog, yf, k3, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, k2
Row 8: Purl
Row 9: K4, yf, k3tog, yf, k5, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, MB
Row 10: Purl
Row 11: K3, yf, k3tog, yf, k1, yf, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yf, k6
Row 12: Purl

Repeat these 12 rows.

MB = Make bobble.
Knit into front, back and front of next st, turn and k3, turn and p3, turn and k3, turn and sl 1, k2tog, psso.

I used a 3 stitch bobble, but you can try other size bobbles to get the look you want.
