I love the amazing texture of bobble stitches 😍
It's fun to work in one solid color or to change colors for the bobbles to pop even more, and great to use in any project where you want a slightly thicker fabric and loads of texture.
This is how I like to work mine -- work a chain that is a multiple of 4 + 5 + 1 – that means a number that is evenly divisible by 4 like 8, 12, 16 etc plus 5, respectively that would be, 13, 17, 21, etc plus 1.
I’ve done this stitch multiple to equal 3 single crochet stitches in between bobble stitches, but if you would like to adjust this, keep the number of single crochets as an odd number so the bobble is evenly staggered in the center. The 5 equals 2 single crochets on both ends and 1 bobble so if you adjust the center count, you may want to also add extra stitches on the ends to match.
Bobble stitches are worked from the wrong side, or back side, of the project, but will pop out on the right side, or front side. The single crochet that follows the bobble stitch is what brings it level with the rest of the single crochet stitches and will make the bobble pop.
To Create a Bobble: all worked into the same stitch: (yarn over, insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2 loops) 4x, yarn over, pull through all 5 loops on the hook.
