Front Back Bobble

[Fun Coaster] This stitch is the featured stitch for February. I am not sure if this stitch existed before. It seems to me I have seen it some place but I cannot recall where so I cannot claim it to be my own. The Long name I give it is the Front & Back Bobble because it is worked in the front lp then the back lp of each st.

*Yo, insert hook in back lp of next st, draw up a lp, yo and draw through 2 lps on hook, yo, insert hook in front lp of same st from the inside to the front, not from the front of the stitch. Yo draw up a lp, yo draw through 2 lps on hook,* yo and draw through all 3 lps on hook. This completes the stitch.
