Yarn: 1449 yards total in 7 skeins of worsted weight yarn (original yarn has been discontinued)
Hook: 5.0mm (H/8)
How to Bobble Stitch / dc5tog:
Bobble stitches are worked from the “wrong side” — meaning they pop out away from you as you work. They are worked much like a dc dec, but all into the same stitch. To dc5tog, work 5 dc all into the same stitch, leaving the last loop unworked on the hook each time. When you’ve got 6 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all 6 sts. Work tightly here, and as soon as you make the next (sc) st, the bobble should pop right out on the other side of your work!
