'Drops'....

...aka bobbles! that's all they are ~ I did the first row this morning before work ~ easy and cute so definitely worth doing (I was worried they were going to be bulky but they are small)

they use 1 stitch only from your left needle ~ knit in the front, back, front and back again without removing the working stitch from the left needle (puts 4 stitches on your right needle), and then remove the stitch from the left needle (so your 1 stitch has now become 4 on your right)

then you turn your work (stitches now on your left needle) and purl all 4 st back to your right needle

then you turn your work (stitches now on your left needle again) and knit all 4 st back to your right needle

then you turn your work (stitches now on your left needle again) and purl all 4 stitches back to your right needle (a bit looser will aid with the next row so don't purl this row too tightly!)

finally, turn your work back to the right side again and knit these 4 stitches together (which brings your stitch count back down to the 1 you started with)

this makes a cute little bobble ~ hope this helps

I'll see if I can find a video I can post a link to later.....
