bobble sc 4 *yarn over, insert hook in sc and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times, yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on hook.

A Note On Gauge: The crochet fabric needs to be tight, so if you change yarn weight, make sure you use a hook size that is at least 2 sizes smaller than the label of the yarn calls for.

Sweet and Sour are both made exactly the same way. The difference between them is the colors used and the face that is embroidered. Follow the pictures to embroider the faces, and make each Bear their mascot friend!
