Assembly:
Lay work in front of you face down, so the bobbles are facing down. Fold each side, in toward the center at the rows where the bobbles end.
Pick up your work at the upper right corner and join variegated in this corner. Working through both layers, work 2sc in each bobble and dc row and 1 sc in each sc row across to the single layer. Then work one sc in each sc row and 2 sc in each dc row for 3dc rows and 4 sc rows. Then working through both layers, continue to the other corner as before. Fasten off and work the same for the other side.
