(Bobble stitch for arms = top half beige, bottom half white
From the 10th single crochet in Round 12, you will have 1 white loop on hook
Yarn over beige, insert hook, yarn over beige again, draw beige yarn through –> you will have 2 beige loops and 1 white loop on hook
Then draw white yarn through 2 beige loops on hook –> you will have 2 white loops on hook
Repeat process: yo beige, insert hook, yo beige and draw beige yarn through –> you will have 2 beige loops and 2 white loops on hook
Then draw white yarn through 2 beige loops on hook –> you will have 3 white loops on hook
Repeat again: yo beige, insert hook, yo beige and draw beige yarn through –> you will have 2 beige loops and 3 white loops on hook
Then draw white yarn through 2 beige loops on hook –> you will have 4 white loops on hook
Repeat last time: yo beige, insert hook, yo beige and draw beige yarn through –> you will have 2 beige loops and 4 white loops on hook
Then draw white yarn through 2 beige loops on hook –> you will have 5 white loops on hook
Then pull through white yarn through all 5 white loops on hook and sc1 in next main stitch.)
