This design was originally created for Making magazine No. 3, the theme of which was dots.

When prompted by the word dots, my knitting mind immediately went to bobbles! They quickly arranged themselves into pretty little five petaled flowers. The shape of the top that grew around them was inspired by embroidered folkloric blouses, that I find flattering on everyone with their square necklines and bell sleeves.

Use any sport weight yarn that gives you the correct gauge.
