How to Crochet Bobbles in a Contrasting Colour
1. Draw through the new colour on the last yarn over of the previous

7. R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook (6)
8. R2: [Inc] x6 (12)
9. R3: [Sc, inc] x6 (18) – change colour to green
10. Tip: To minimise the colour change, fasten off invisibly
after R3 and join green yarn with a standing single crochet.
Only do this for the head NOT the body as it will change the
bobble stitch placement.
11. R4-6: [Sc] x18 (18) 3 rounds
12. R7: [Sc, invdec] x6 (12) – change colour to light grey
in last st
13. R8: [FLO sc] x12 (12)
14. The bobble stitches in the next round are worked in
green as indicated in bold. All colour changes take place in
the last yarn over of the previous colour. Cut the green yarn
after each bobble and knot the ends together inside the piece
to secure.
15. R9: 4 sc, FLO bo, 3 sc, FLO bo, 3 sc (12) – change
colour to brown in last st
16. Insert safety eyes between R5 and R6, 3 sts apart.
17. Stuff the head and continue to stuff as you go.
18. Using 4 ply black yarn or black embroidery floss, sew a
line for the mouth centred between the eyes approximately 2
sts long.
19. R10: [Sc] x12 (12)
20. The bobble stitches in the next round are worked in

23. Tip: If the invisible decreases don’t look clean around
the feet, try using a regular decrease (sc2tog).
24. Cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull through last st.
Weave the yarn tail through the front loops only of the final
round and pull to close. Hide the end inside Frankenstein.
25. Finishing
26. Starting on the right side of the head, insert hook in a st
between R6 and R7 approximately 1 st away from the eye.
