Must-Have Mini CAL 2 - Cauliflower
This pattern brings us to the last veggie of the CAL. Time flies when you’re having fun! I’m secretly not much of a cauliflower fan, but it’s a beautiful veggie to look at... so we’re ending the CAL with this cutie.
You will use the bobble stitch for this curly number to make sure it looks as realistic as possible. There are a lot of different ways to work this stitch, but I opted for the following: dc 3 in one stitch, take the hook out of the last stitch, insert hook through the 1st and the last dc, yarn over and pull the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook. Easy does it! Happy “bobbling” with your cauliflower.
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm during this CAL! I hope you’ll enjoy this last pattern.
Love, Manon
