Knit Dalek Baby Toque to go with it.

There are 14 bobbles in each row. It would have been better with 12. The waist and bodice also ended up too big. I reduced 13 stitches on the last round of the skirt to compensate.

Using this video for the bobbles. The crochet bobbles are easier and look better than the knit ones.

To hide the floats, I find it best for me to carry the white over the blue, right to left. Then put the needle in and knit. This can be done just before a purl stitch, but not directly after one or it shows too much.

Be sure the decreases are over the bobbles.

CO 136 (125 plus 11, to make P2 instead of P1 between stitches)

Did first garter stitch rows flat, joined in the round beginning the stockinette stitch, then sewed up the open section when finished.
