Master the Crochet Bobble Stitch for Your Next Cozy Project

Let’s begin, shall we? This stitch is worked on the back of the swatch (also called the “wrong” side of the work) with the bobble popping out to the front of the swatch. The back looks flatter like this:

When you arrive at the stitch where you’d like to place your bobble, wrap yarn around the hook, insert the hook into the stitch, wrap yarn around the hook and bring up a loop,

Then wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops on the hook (two loops are now on the hook):

Next, repeat this sequence (yarn around hook, bring up a loop, yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops) until there are six loops on the hook.

Next, wrap yarn around hook and bring it through all six loops on the hook (one loop left on the hook),

In the next stitch, work a single crochet,

This really “pops” the bobble out. If you flip it over, you can see it!

Now that you’ve learned how to crochet a bobble stitch, try the pattern below to make more!

If you’re looking for an all-over bobble stitch swatch like the one shown above, try this!

• Multiple is any even number of chains (I did a chain 12).
• Row 1: Work a hdc into the third ch from the hook. Work a hdc in each ch across.
• Row 2: Ch 3 and turn (counts as a dc), *then work a bobble into the next stitch (see above for detailed instructions). Then work a sc into the next st. Repeat from * across. Work a dc at the end of the row.
• Row 3: Ch 2 and turn. Work a hdc into each stitch across.
• Repeat rows 2 and 3 until it is as tall as you like!
