Crochet has yet to evolve a standardised language in the way that knitting has. In this book a bobble is described as comprising 4 open trebles with the yarn drawn through the 5 loops left on the hook. The previous book described them as 4 trebles together. I can’t even remember how any of the other previous books described them.

This was a very straightforward pattern that was enjoyable in its simplicity. The resulting square is pleasing to the eye both because of its simple design and its use of texture.

It comes from “200 Crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afghans” by Jan Eaton on page 48
