Hi all,
My attempt at a spiral bobble pattern posted here - http://colourinasimplelife.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/catching-up.html has been a hit with all you pinners out there, and so I have refined the pattern...
Granny Bobble Spiral -
I NOW HAVE A NEW WEBSITE AND THIS PATTERN CAN BE FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING LINK -
http://psicrochet.com/portfolio-items/granny-bobble-spiral/
And there you have it. It's a bit fiddly at first with lots of ends and loops, but once you get past the 2nd row and the pattern is set the only problem is keeping the 4 balls of wool untangled!
Anywho, I hope you like it...
Happy crocheting,
Karen

Looks great - I'm going to make a cushion...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the tutorial. I'm looking forward to trying it! Rachel x
ReplyDeleteHello karen
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed reading your last post about your visit to London and of course hello hello so nice to see you in person via those photos. It looks as if you had a really great time.
Popcorn or Bobble stitch is my favourite stitch I always think it adds that little bit extra to a pattern... you've done it justice with this colourful square. I do like how you've made the pattern twirl. The ends yes the ends are always such a pain wish someone would invent something to make it easier to get rid of them.
Keep well!
Amanda :-)
Oh Karen, es realmente precioso!!!
ReplyDeleteGracias por compartir el tutorial, yo amo el punto bodoque o pop corn o bubble.
Un gran abrazo y GRACIAS!!!!
Oh Karen, is really beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the tutorial, I love the point bodoque or popcorn or bubble.
A big hug and THANK YOU!!

Love it!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHow very clever! I really love it and can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I'm making a bobble baby blanket for my daughter but it's all rows. This is something I will definitely need to try.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeletees una explicación perfecta y el punto bodoque me encanta.
Enhorabuena
Un saludo
Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial. I would like to try to make a tissue box out of this pattern. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteOoh I love it! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern! This is on my ever growing list of projects :) Maggie xx
ReplyDeleteWow that's one very cute granny square. Thanks for sharing your pattern, your tutorial is really easy to follow
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! I am so in love with it!
ReplyDeletewow, that was good, I will try this out! Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I've always liked crochet spiral patterns but have always been afraid to try. I might have a go at yours as the step by step photos really help, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this. What colourful fun! I must have a go, very soon :)
ReplyDelete*sigh* I haven't the hand coordination to do this type of activity, but I would love to have an entire afghan made like this, I love the swirl pattern and colors you've chosen. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteDo you have to stop? Or could you make it a baby blanket? I'm looking to make 3 different blankets for a set of triplets due in October :D
ReplyDeleteI see no reason why you shouldn't be able to carry on - although I haven't tried it... The only adaptation that my be required might be that when you get to the size required and need to finish off, you may need to increase the amount of hdc bobbles and sc bobbles to perhaps go a bit further up the final sides - personally I would try it with the pattern as described and if that doesn't look right do extra short bobbles to reach about 1/3 - 1/2 across the row.

ReplyDeleteJo :)
lovely ... just so cool n awesome
ReplyDeleteI thought you lost me when you said "start with the magic circle"??....but I figured it out. I have always wanted to do a spiral granny square..just never could quite keep all the different yarns straight...and loops left off and so on and so on..etc...etc. Thank you for your tutorial I believe I can possibly do one now! Anyway, I'm going to try!Thank you again! :)
ReplyDeleteI have no clue what a "magic circle" is. Can anyone help me please. I've got to try this pattern. Thanks Jennifer
DeleteJust a quick note to let you know that I tried out your tutorial and thought is was so awesome that I included my swatch on my blog, with a link to your post for the tutorial of course :). Feel free to stop by and check it out.
ReplyDeleteIf I kept going do you think this would make a good blanket? I'm new to crochet and I understand all the patterns, ect. Just wanted to get your input...Because I thought about doing something like this for my new neice (not here yet)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest Candace I don't know; I've only made a smaller square. In theory you should just be able to carry on until it's the size you want, but I haven't tried it myself, and I can't guarantee that it will keep it's shape or lie flat... it grows quickly, so you could give it a go and see (at least there would be no cut ends so no wastage if it doesn't work out!). Hope that helps.

Thank you Karen! So would you think making smaller squares then seeming them together maybe?
DeleteSo sorry for the delay in replying Candace; I would love to see smaller squares seamed together - I would love to see what squares worked in the same colours looked like seamed together, with each rotated a bit... although it could be migraine inducing! To be honest, if it was me, I would try the one large square, but I would be prepared to frog it all back should it not go as planned...
DeleteKaren

The one large square is working out wonderfully for me. I did have to add an extra change between bobbles. So I have 4 chains on the sides and 5 in the corners. It started to curl under after a while. I still have a long way to go but I will post pictures.
Delete*chain
DeleteYou are telling those things very good and pictures tell's a lot.
ReplyDeletethanks for the pattern! hopped by here via pinterest & i shall return :-)
ReplyDeletegreetings from hamburg, germany

Beautiful pattern, I see me wanting to try the larger blanket or at least laprobe size too, thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeletevery cool
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm gonna try this with 3 colors and see if I can make it into a hat.
ReplyDeleteHello, Karen.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this absolutely adorable pattern.
I'm trying it out and my bobbles are much flatter than what your pictures show. Is there anything you suggest to make mine more ball shaped?
Thank you!
Amanda
Hi Amanda; the only thing I can think of is that as the bobble is created by producing a line of stitches, and then you draw the top of the end stitch through the first stitch, which makes almost a cylinder and a round bobble shape, that you are not keeping a tight enough tension on your stitch as you draw it through - and then subsequently work the next stitch. A slack tension would end up with a flat bobble! I hope that helps!

ReplyDeleteTvoju prácu veľmi obdivujem a som nesmierne šťastná že si tak ochotna sa s nami podeliť o postup. Dlho nahaňam postup na tuto špirálku aj som prosila nejake blogerky, no neposlali mi to :-(( Ďakujeeem z celého srdca za postup. Hlásim sa k tebe k čitateľom a odkladam si ťa :-) Prajem krásne dni, s pozdravom Mery.
ReplyDeletewhat yarn and colours did you use? I'm very drawn to these colours but can't find anything similar!

ReplyDeleteWhat is a "magic circle". How do I make that? I love all your patterns and work. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome,greets from Holland.. :-) thank you
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of making this into a place mats for the table, not sure on how to make it into a rectangle instead of a square, I may just have to sew two blocks together.
ReplyDeleteCould add some bobble rows up each side
DeleteКак красиво и просто оказалось, спасибо за урок!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing pattern, can't wait to try in black white greys
ReplyDeleteThank you for great guidance
Only thing I have a problem with is the assumption that everyone knows what a magic loop is. I have never heard of it and with no explanation or direction to make it that pretty well stops the pattern before it is started. A little more clarity on the bobble would be nice also for less experienced crocheters.
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks so hope to figure it out eventually.
hmm lovely :)

I don't know how I didn't find you, until now. I love all the patterns I have seen on your site. I will be back, again and again.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the pattern anywhere?
ReplyDeleteI love this square and was really looking forward to making an afghan out of it. Disappointed though, to see that you have taken the tutorial down and are now requiring payment to view it. Buying the pattern would be one thing, but I have to buy access to your entire website which is almost $40 in the US. :(
ReplyDeleteYou can buy it for $5 here: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/other/granny-bobble-spiral-pattern/56944
DeleteHELP! I made one of these blankets when my friend had a baby, back when the pattern was free, but now I need to use it again, it's gone! I have tried to buy this pattern on Etsy but your shop no longer exists! I really want to make one of these for my Niece/Nephew! I hope you can help!
ReplyDeleteEveryone! I FOUND IT! It appears this can only be purchased from CRAFTSY: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/other/granny-bobble-spiral-pattern/56944
