switch yarn to Body color

Start first row on last row of feet.

How to do FPbobble

    Yarn over like you are going to do a dc. (2 loops on hook)

    Instead of going into the next stitch like normal you will go around the post of the stitch.

Yarn over and pull out of the post. (3 loops on hook)

Yarn over again (4 loops on hook) and pull through two loops so that there are only 2 loops left on the hook.

Repeat this a total of 4 times (always pulling through first 2 loops on hook) so that you have a total of 6 loops on the hook. This time you will pull through the first 2 loops and end with 2 loops on hook.

Yarn over and pull through 2 loops.  FPbobble stitch is complete.

For the next stitch (dc) you will yarn over and do a normal dc stitch but directly into the stitch as close to the bobble stitch as you can get.
