How to crochet bobble stitch (bo): the bobble stitch is a combination of five double crochet stitches in the same stitch, but when you work it, you leave each double crochet stitch incomplete without pulling through the last stitch. When you have 6 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.

Note: make 1 ch after each bobble stitch. Don’t use these chain stitches to crochet bobble in them (bobble only in bobble), just skip them.

Rnd 4: 2 ch, (bo in next st, bo inc) repeat 6 times, join with sl st.
Rnd 5: 2 ch, bo in next 18 st, join with sl st.
Rnd 6: 2 ch, bo in next 3 st, 2 ch, skip 1 bo st (this is the hole for ear), bo in next 9 st, 2 ch, skip 1 bo st (this is the hole for ear), bo in next 4 st, join with sl st.
When making the next round, crochet hdc both in bobble stitches and chain stitches. Don’t skip chain stitches.
Rnd 7: 2 ch, hdc in next 6 st, hdc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 18 st, hdc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 8 st, join with sl st.
Fasten off and hide the tail.

Make a pompom with mint green yarn and sew it to the hat.

Dress:

Row 2: 2 ch (counted as hdc st), hdc in next 3 st, (hdc inc, hdc in next 3 st) repeat 6 times [34]
