I’m going to be completely honest, I wasn’t going to publish this pattern. It is way too close to other patterns for my comfort zone, but I kept getting requests for it. So here is my gift to you. It hasn’t been tested, it’s not perfect. But it’s a starting point for you. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.
Materials

Stitch How-to:
Bobble Stitch: Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Repeat the previous step, four more times. There will be 6 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. Slip stitch to secure the top. Note that you will be skipping over the slip stitch securing the top in the next round.
3rd Loop Stitch: Make the stitch desired as usual. But instead of going through both loops on top of the previous round, go through the back bump of the previous rounds half double crochet aka the 3rd loop.
