How To Crochet A Bobble Stitch

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."

Bobble Stitch - Step-By-Step

Here are step-by-step instructions for making a crochet bobble stitch:

Step 1 - Yarn over hook and insert the hook into the specified stitch. Yarn over hook again and pull up a loop. You will have three loops on the hook.

Step 2 - Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook. You will now have two loops on the hook.

Step 3 -  Yarn over hook and insert the hook into the specified stitch. Yarn over hook again and pull up a loop. You will have four loops on the hook.

Step 4 - Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook. You will now have three loops on the hook.

Step 5 - Yarn over hook and insert the hook into the specified stitch. Yarn over hook again and pull up a loop. You will have five loops on the hook.

Step 9 - Yarn over hook and insert the hook into the specified stitch. Yarn over hook again and pull up a loop. You will have seven loops on the hook.

Step 10 - Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook. You will now have six loops on the hook.

Step 11 - Yarn over the hook and pull through all loops. You will now have one loop on the hook. This completes the bobble stitch.

Adjust - The bobble stitch will pull toward the back of the work, use your fingers to push and pinch it toward the front.

Remember, the number of chains and stitches between each bobble stitch can vary depending on your pattern, so always follow the specific instructions given in your project.
