I just love springtime, don’t you? I love the feeling of the fresh start, the fresh air, and the fresh new flowers. Daffodils are popping up where I love, and my 4-year-old son is picking me bouquets of dandelions like he’s my own little gentleman caller. So sweet!
The pops of color that are showing up everywhere make my heart flutter! I LOVE SPRING!
I thought that my newest pattern: the Springtime Bobbles Wall Hanging was perfect to roll out as the first day of spring is this weekend! The pops of color bobbles remind me of all the flowers and leaf buds that are popping up out of the brown and gray shadows of winter.

Bobble stitch (Bo)
Read more about this stitch in this stitch tutorial post.
Created by working a cluster of 5 partial dc in the same stitch without finishing individual dc.
(The printable pattern in my shop a step-by-step instructions including pictures on how to make the bobble.)
Yarn over.
Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over.
Pull through stitch (3 loops on hook).
Yarn over & pull through 2 loops to complete 1st partial dc (2 loops on hook).
[Yarn over to start next partial dc, insert hook in SAME stitch, yarn over & pull through stitch, yarn over & pull through 2 loops to complete 2nd partial dc (3 loops on hook)]*repeat until 6 loops on hook.
With color A, yarn over & pull through all 6 loops.
This completes 1 bobble stitch (bo), making the bobble pop out on the opposite side of your work.
In this pattern all bo are followed by a hdc in between the next stitch.
Pattern Notes
US Terminology
When the row begins with ch 1, it does not count as a st.
When changing colors, drop the previous color so the tail hangs on the WS, and pick it back up for the next color change. All color changes happen on the WS so it doesn’t need to look pretty. See picture of my WS.
Work the stitches between the *asterisks*, then repeat as specified
Row 4 has 7 bobbles, Row 6 has 6 bobbles.
Work each bobble stitch into the stitch as normal, not between the posts as with the other hdc of this design.
