Bobbles

Hi

I'm currently knitting a matinee jacket which has bobbles. It is knitted in 4ply and the bobbles are made by kpkp into 1 stitch on the k row and then slip 3 k1 on the p row. My problem is that the bobbles are all protruding on the inside instead of the outside. Can anyone make any suggestions please? I've never had a problem with bobbles before.

Hi Jane

You should be able to just push them through to the side you want them on. Give it a try.

Hi Janet

Thanks, I can push them through but thought I must be doing something wrong for them to be on the wrong side.

Hi

No I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I find bobbles need a bit of help like this sometimes.

That's the trouble I am finding with the baby blanket I am doing at the moment.

Very easy. k1, P1, K1, P1, K1 in the one stitch.

They are easy but I have found that the finer the wool the more likely they are to appear on the wrong side
