What is the Bobble Stitch?

The Bobble Stitch is a raised, cluster-like stitch that adds dimension to your work. Unlike the Puff Stitch, which is soft and rounded, the Bobble Stitch is more structured and pops out on one side of the fabric.

It’s a fantastic way to add bold texture without making your project too heavy.

Tips for Crocheting the Bobble Stitch

✅ Pull through the loops carefully – This keeps your bobbles uniform.
✅ Keep even tension – This prevents loose or overly tight bobbles.
✅ Experiment with different yarns – Some fibers make bobbles softer, while others make them more defined.
