Bobble Stitch Cardigan
Bobble Stitch Cardigan
The booble Cardi is your new favorite oversized cardigan. All the
bubbles make it both fun, chunky and totally irresistible. Wear it
with a dress on a chilly summer night, as a jacket in spring, with
jeans in the fall or to keep warm in winter. Wear your Hubba Bubba
Cardi all the time to pimp up your outfit. It’s pretty easy to make
and works up super quickly due to the thick yarn.

Construction
The bubble-licious Cardi is made from two front panels, one back panel, two pockets and
two sleeves. You start by making the front panels and then the back panel. Then you
make the pockets and the sleeves. Once you’re done crocheting all the parts you sew
them together and crochet the ribbing along the opening and bottom of the cardigan
directly on to your cardi. Easy peasy :)
You can easily adjust the length of both the body and the sleeves. For the body panels:
Add more rows with bubbles and hdc. For the sleeves: Add more rows of bubbles and
hdc before the decrease row. For the pockets: Just add more rows of bubbles and hdc
until they match up with the number of rows of bubbles and hdc on your back panel.
The Hubba Bubba Cardi only consists of sc, hdc and dc.

Pattern notes
Stitch counts for the different sizes are written in the order:
At the end of each row you can see the total number of stitches for each size as follows:
Note that when the pattern says to ch 1 in the beginning of a row it does not count as a
sc or a hdc. It’s simply a turning ch. Do not make this ch too tight, or else the pieces will
wrinkle.
Note that the total number of rows for the front panels and back panel is not the same.
This is because you work with only hdc on the front panels and both sc, hdc and dc on
the back panel. So to make all three panels the same size you work one number of total
rows on the front panels and another on the back panel.
The instructions for the ribbing at wrist, bottom and opening of the cardigan apply for all
sizes.
Always read the pattern thoroughly. You will find explanation of all abbreviations below,
both US and UK terms. The pattern uses US terms.
Abbreviations
st(s): stitch(es)
ch: chain
sc: single crochet (UK double crochet)
sl st: slip stitch
hdc: half double crochet (UK half treble crochet)
sp(s): space(s)
blo: back loop only
bubble: 4 unfinished dc in same st, like this:
1. Yarn over, insert hook into stitch and pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through two.
2. Repeat no 1 in the same stitch until you have a total of 5 loops on your hook.
3. Yarn over, pull through all 5 loops at once.
