Knitting Bobbles

Hello, I have a question and a request for the experts: I need detailed instructions on how to knit bobbles over 5 stitches and a yarn over. I’ve never done this before, and the videos on YouTube don’t make it clear enough for me.
I’d really appreciate any feedback.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
Daniela

Hi Daniela, I just did a quick search online for “bobbles over 5 stitches.” Does that mean you knit 5 stitches from a single stitch? I found something with 3 stitches, but it didn’t include a yarn over.

Do you have a pattern here on CP? If so, you can message the author directly. 

So, I’ll try to explain it step by step (for right-handers):
 
1. Insert the right needle through 5 stitches (which are on the left needle)
2. then pull the yarn through all 5 stitches as if to knit; but do not let the 5 stitches slip off the left needle—leave them on!
3. make a yarn over with the right needle
4. now insert the right needle through the 5 stitches on the left needle again
5. again pull the yarn through all 5 stitches as if to knit; but do not let the 5 stitches slip off the left needle yet—leave them on!
6. make a yarn over with the right needle
7. and one last time: insert the right needle through the 5 stitches on the left needle
8. then pull the yarn through all 5 stitches as if to knit
9. (there should now be 5 stitches (loops) on the right needle) -> now slide these 5 knitted stitches off the left needle

Hello, thank you very much. I’ve already contacted the author and received some help.

@Michaela-B - Thanks, I’ve learned something new again. I’m going to try it out right away. I’m on vacation and will find a shady spot in the garden. 

Thanks, Michaela B.—that was very well explained for me, too

I’d also like to thank you, Michaela. This is new to me as well, and I always enjoy learning something new.

Best regards, Monika
