Pattern notes

  • The bomb is worked in joined rounds.
  • The ch 1 or ch 2 at the beginning of a bomb round does not count as a stitch.
  • Join each bomb round with a slip stitch to the first stitch made in that round, unless otherwise noted.
  • Repeat instructions between the asterisks (*) around as indicated.
  • The pattern is written in US crochet terms.

Magic circle alternative

If you’re not comfortable with using a magic circle, you can use an alternative method to make round 1 of the bomb. This method is just as effective and might be easier for beginners.

Round 1: Chain 3, make 7 hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook, join (7 stitches)
