Crochet bobble stitches are popular in accessories and clothing, where they can add an interesting texture (they’re often used on edgings). Bobbles are usually a group of five or six stitches worked into the same stitch, to create a raised ‘bump’ which adds an extra dimension of interest to your fabric.
Your crochet bobble stitch will need to be worked from the wrong side of your crochet fabric. So if you want to add bobble stitches to your work, you’ll need to plan ahead a little and make sure you create them on a wrong side row. Once you’ve finished each crochet bobble stitch, you can gently push the bump through from the wrong side to the right side of the fabric, as shown below.
How do I make a crochet bobble stitch?
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to work crochet bobbles using treble stitches so that you can get the hang of it, although you can use the same techniques to create textured effects with other crochet stitches. After the basic tutorial, you'll also find instructions on how to create the crochet bobble stitch on a double crochet fabric.
