Bobble Stitch-Yarn over, insert hook into st, yarn over and pull through the 1 st, yarn over and pull through two loops. You should have 2 loops left on your hook. Yarn over and insert into that same st, yarn over and pull through the 1 loop, yarn, over and pull through 2 loops. You should now have 3 loops left on your hook. I do this 2 more times, into that same stitch, until you have 5 loops left on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops.

Color change-insert hook in next stitch and pull original color through the 1 loop. Now, with 2 loops of original color still on hook, yarn over with new color and pull through both loops. Sc in next st with new color. This last sc you just did is now considered your first stitch when counting stitches.
