Pattern confusion

[Madit]

Hi there,

I was hoping for some help on a section of a pattern that has me confused. I'm working from a 16 St ring. The pattern say to work a dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops,  BLO SC,  skip 1 St, dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops,  BLO SC,  skip 1 St, dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops,  BLO SC,  (you should have 3 bobbles)  then BLO sc in the remaining 9 to finish with 16. When I tried them I only had 5 remaining and not 9. I've never used a bobble before so I could be doing something wrong there but I've followed the instructions in the pattern for it and I just can work out if maybe the maths is off or if I'm doing something wrong and I am meant to finish with 9. Any help would be amazing

It looks to me that it uses eleven sts, so only five left over.  So  I agree with your results.

what is the name and location of the pattern?

I initially found it through Pinterest but I downloaded the pattern from Ravelry the pattern is called huggable baby Yoda and it is by octoberin_thechair

for reference, here it is on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/huggable-baby-yoda

it does say you can just leave off the bobbles and just make the leg plain, so that is an option.  

what i would do--assuming the bobbles themselves went ok---is I would just go with what you have, work the 5sc, and continue the leg rounds with 16 st.  

If it were me and i didn't like the way the bobbles looked, i probably would just leave the toes off and make the legs plain.

Awesome thank you so much for your advice. The bobbles look really cute and worked out well so I was wanting to keep them but was getting stuck with finishing the round. I'll just stick with the 5 and keep going. Once again thank you 😊

You're very welcome    Do let us know how it turns out!

 What a cute pattern, but baby Yoda's toes are a big part of the cuteness!   

Retyping your pattern, with a stitch count used of each transaction in red: dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops (2) ,  BLO SC (1),  skip 1 St (1), dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops (2),  BLO SC,  skip 1 St (1), dc7tog bobble over 2 st in both loops(2),  BLO SC,  (you should have 3 bobbles)  then BLO sc in the remaining 9 (no, only 5 remaining) to finish with 16

BUT, if you put the 7 DC bobble stitches into 1 stitch, not split between 2, you'd gain 3 stitches and end up with 8, not 9 for the balance of the foot.  I think that would be an option to consider to preserve the toes.  You can put way more than 7 sts into 1 stitch so that isn't an issue.  Worth trying at least, to see how it looks.

I've still got the coat to finish but he turned out alright in the end. I ended up making slight modifications to the feet so he could stand on his own but I'm happy with how it turned out

He's cute!  The toes turned out well

Awww, he's adorable!  So glad you saved his toes, they're perfect
