Raspberry Motif with the crochet 'bobble' stitch

After playing with the bobble stitch, I created this cute Raspberry Motif! Perfect for sewing onto a baby blanket, or hat, etc. Please note that this pattern is written in UK terminology.





Free pattern as follows:

Special Stitches
First Bobble: Ch3 (counts as a treble), [yarn over, insert hook into first stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over & pull through 2 loops] x 4. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.

Bobble: [Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over & pull through 2 loops] x 5. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on hook.

Raspberry Motif
Starting in a raspberry shade of yarn:
Foundation Ch: Ch4
Row 1: Dc1 in 2nd Ch from the hook and in each Ch along each (3 Dc total). Turn
Row 2: Make 'First Bobble Stitch'. You should now have 2 stitches remaining. Dc1 into the next stitch, Bobble in the next. Ch1 Turn
Row 3: Dc2 in first stitch, Dc1 in next stitch, Dc2 in last stitch (5 Dc total). Turn
Row 4: Make 'First Bobble', [Dc1 in next stitch, Bobble in next stitch] x 2. Ch1 Turn
Row 5: Dc2 in first stitch, Dc1 in each of next 3 stitches, Dc2 in last stitch (7 Dc total).
Row 6: Make 'First Bobble', [Dc1 in next stitch, Bobble in next stitch] x 3. Ch1 Turn
Row 7: Dc2tog, Dc1 in each of next 3 stitches, Dc2tog.
Row 8: Make 'First Bobble', [Dc1 in next stitch, Bobble in next stitch] x 2. Fasten Off.
You should have 5 stitches across top. Join with green yarn in second stitch.
Row 1: Ch3, Dc1 in 2nd chain from hook and Dc1 in the next Ch, Dc1 into same stitch as you joined yarn, Dc1 in the middle (raspberry-colored) stitch, and Dc1 in next stitch. Ch3 Turn.
Row 2: Dc1 in 2nd chain from hook and Dc1 in next Ch. Dc1 in last Dc of previous row. Ch4, Dc1 in 2nd Ch from hook and Dc1 in each of next 2 Ch. Dc1 into next Dc (this is the middle stitch of the top of the raspberry), Dc1 into each of the next 3 Dc, Dc1 into top of first Ch3 and Dc1 back down the other side of Ch3 and finish with a slip stitch into the same stitch as where you joined the green yarn.
Fasten Off!
