How to Crochet Bobbles

April 9, 2018 Leave a Comment

The Bobble Stitch is great for adding texture and dimension to your crochet! Learn how to work double crochet bobbles and triple crochet bobbles.
If you’ve ever spent time scrolling through crochet patterns on Ravelry or Pinterest for project inspiration, chances are you’ve seen at least one bobble stitch in your life. Bobble stitches can be found in all kinds of crochet, adding texture and dimension to an otherwise-flat piece of fabric. The good news, especially if you’re a newer crocheter, is that if you can manage a double crochet stitch, you can manage a double crochet bobble. And the same goes for triple crochet bobbles! Let’s tackle how to work double and triple crochet bobble stitches.

These tutorials were inspired by our current Read Along Crochet Along featuring the Worker Bee Bag, a pattern that uses double and triple crochet bobbles in a bunch of fun ways! If you’re curious to learn more about RALCAL or the pattern, check out this post. :)

Triple Crochet Bobbles

Hey guess what? If you can do a double crochet bobble, you can do a triple! TR bobbles are worked just like DC bobbles, but with one more wrap involved (just like the difference between plain DC and TR stitches). Check out this tutorial for a breakdown of TR bobbles:
