Crochet pattern
Front
With Colour A, make a magic loop.
Red version: From now on you’re going to make 2 bobbles in each odd row, and 1 bobble in each even row. Don’t think too hard about where your bobbles are going to be! This way, they’re going to be sprinkled all over. The bobbles count as a stitch.
Blue version: From now on you’re going to make a bobble every row. Don’t forget that the bobbles count as a stitch!
Because the bobbles are pretty small, I knotted the ends together before weaving the ends in.
Back
Repeat Rounds 1-13, but without the bobbles.
Assembly
Put the pieces with their backsides together. Join Colour A with a ss in any stitch. When crocheting, insert your hook through all loops of the front- and backside. Crochet 1hdc in every hdc around. Steam block the potholders.
