For National Crochet Month, we launched the new Coast to Colour Shawl designed by Charlotte Lee! Last week, we shared how to set up the shawl and work the Coast to Colour Stitch. This week, we’re adding the perfect finishing touch, a beautiful bobble stitch border. This textured edge adds dimension and detail, making your handmade shawl even more special. Follow the simple steps below to create this eye-catching border before binding off!

The Bobble Stitch Border
Equipment
Materials
- 1 skein SweetGeorgia Superwash DK
Instructions
Border Setup
- Chain 1.
- Single crochet into the chain-one space from the previous row.
- Chain 4.
- Make a bobble stitch into the single crochet that we made in step two.
How to Make the Bobble Stitch
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the single crochet, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
- Yarn over and pull through only two loops on your hook. (You should have two loops remaining.)
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 two more times until you have four loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all four loops to close the stitch.
Continuing the Border
- Single crochet into the next chain-one space, chain four, then work another bobble stitch.
- Repeat this process across the shawl until you reach the spine/centre.
- At the centre chain-three space, single crochet, chain 4, make a bobble into the single crochet, then end the bobble stitch by making a single crochet into the same chain-three space. This helps secure the shawl’s point.
- Chain 4, make a bobble into the last single crochet, and continue along the second side of the shawl, following the same pattern as the first side.
Finishing the Border
- When you reach the end of the border, slip stitch into the third chain of the last edge to secure the round. Now, your shawl has a beautiful bobble stitch border!
