Yarn over and insert hook in same stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop (four loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (three loops on hook).

Hanger Cover:
Ch-52
Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and each CH to end (51 SC).
Row 2: CH-1, turn. (WS) *SC in first ST, bobble (see special stitches) in next ST*. Repeat from * to * 24 times ending with SC in last ST. (26 SC & 25 bobbles made).
Tip: try to pull your SC stitches tight so the bobbles will “pop” more.
Row 3: ch-1, turn. (RS) SC in each ST. (51 sc)
Row 4: (WS) repeat row 3.
Row 5: (RS) repeat row 3.
Row 6: (WS) repeat row 2.

Row 8: (WS) repeat row 3.
Finishing: Leaving tail of approximately 60 centimetres (24 inches), break yarn and secure last stitch. With RS facing out, whipstitch last row and beginning chain together. Insert hanger and align so bobbles are on the sides of the hanger, and whip stitch ends closed as well. Put plastic tubing over hanger hook if desired. You’re done!
