Bobble Stitch

A firm ball of stitches that pops off the fabric surface — the crochet answer to a knitted nub.

Definition

Several incomplete double crochets are worked into one stitch and closed together, forcing the group forward into a bobble.

Overview

Bobbles form on the far side of the work, so on rows they are made on the wrong side and appear on the right side.

Grids of bobbles are used for textured blankets, bear noses in amigurumi and raised lettering.

Characteristics

  • Firm, defined bump
  • Appears on the opposite side
  • Needs even tension to stay uniform

Typical uses

  • Textured blankets
  • Cushion panels
  • Amigurumi details
  • Beanies
