How to do a 3 stitch bobble without turning your work.

Right-Handed: 0:00

Left-Handed: 2:50

Worked into 1 stitch. (This bobble uses the method of backward knitting to avoid turning the work with each bobble. You may choose instead to turn the work for the even rows and purl the stitches.)

Row 1: Knit into front, back, and front of next stitch on holding needle—2 stitches increased. Do not turn.

Row 2: (Working backward) Insert holding needle into the back of the last stitch on the working needle; wrap the yarn around and draw the loop through, releasing the stitch from the working needle. Repeat twice more until all 3 stitches have been worked.

Row 3: K3.

Row 4: Repeat Row 2.

Row 5: Centered double decrease: Slip 2 stitches together knitwise, k1, pass the two slipped stitches over—2 stitches decreased.
