Bobble: Working into the first Ch you made- bobble st all into the same Ch.
Sl st into the next st.
It is up to you how close you want your bobbles to be on your project. For mine, I spaced them out 5 stitches apart.
Sl St into the next amount of stitches, you want to space your bobbles.
Repeat around your project.
When coming to a corner, the only thing you might need to change is the stitch count you Sl St between bobbles.
Be sure to create a Bobble in the very corner, and add or subtract sl st between bobbles to make it work.
Tie off, and weave in any loose ends.
