Textured Bubble Stitch

The textured bobble stitch is an easy crochet stitch to learn. It consists of a cluster of stitches which create a bobble like look when finished plus lots of texture! I like to call it the bubble stitch because of how it pops out from projects.

Learning how to crochet the textured bobble stitch is a fun way to add texture to any crochet project. Once you learn the easy bobble stitch (bo) stitch, you will be able to make any type of bobble stitch pattern you’d like.

Techniques used in this pattern (British term / American term):

Chain Stitch – ch

Treble / double crochet – tr/dc Font Post tr / dc – FPtr/dc Back Post tr / dc – tr/dc

6 tr/dc decrease

3 tr/dc decrease

6 FPtr/dc decrease

3 FPtr/dc decrease

Stitch – st
