What Is A Bobble Stitch?

A bobble stitch is a textured crochet stitch that creates a raised, rounded cluster of stitches on your fabric.

It is often used to add dimension and visual interest to crochet projects, such as blankets, hats, scarves, and more.

The bobble stitch is worked over a small number of stitches, with multiple yarnovers and loops pulled through a single stitch before closing the stitch.

This creates a "bobble" or "puff" effect that stands out from the rest of the fabric.

Bobble stitches can vary in size, depending on the number of loops and yarn overs worked into the stitch.

Crochet Abbreviation

The crochet abbreviation for a bobble stitch can be written as "Bo" "Bob" or "Bobble."
