Fair Isle Knitted Bobble Dot Pattern

I shared this knitted item on our Facebook page and many of you said that you'd like to see the pattern.

This is my first time writing a pattern so forgive me if there are mistakes.

I would love to see photos if you decide to knit this.

And let me know your feedback on how easy/difficult it is to read the pattern.

Let me know if any of you know of an easy to use online knitting graph. I made this one in Paint Shop and PicMonkey. But it was tedious.

Pull a length of yarn about 10” and thread through a darning needle. Sew through the 12 sts left on needles to bind off and pull to cinch.

Stuff the bobble with polyfill through beginning opening. Then use the tail to sew through the rim and pull to cinch.

Using a small crochet hook crochet the tail creating a loop for the bulb to hang. Sew the end to complete the loop.

Work in remaining tails.
