How to make a bobble stitch

Making A Bobble Stitch

A bobble stitch is a textured crochet stitch used in many different patterns. This stitch can be used to add texture to a project or place them in a way so that they make an image. In a previous post I posted how to make a crocheted pickle, this pattern uses the bobble stitch to add the bumps just like a pickle would have. The abbreviation for the bobble stitch is BO or dc5tog. Working five incomplete doubles into the same stitch, then pulling through all loops on your hook, you will create a bobble stitch. Then you push the bobble to the front of your work.

Making the bobble stitch begins with making an partial double crochet, meaning you only make half of the double crochet. All you do is yarn over insert hook into stitch, draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through only two of the loops on your hook leaving two loops to be used later. So that is how we are going to make an incomplete double crochet stitch.

Step by Step crochet bobble stitch or the double 5 together stitch
  1. Yarn over insert hook into stitch pull up a loop, now you have three loops on your hook, Yarn over and pull through two loops on hook, leaving two loops on the hook unworked.
  2. Yarn over and insert hook into the same stitch and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, leaving three loops on the hook.
  3. Repeat steps one and two over until you have six loops left on your hook.
  4. Now to finish off the bobble stitch off. You have six loops on your hook, all you need to do now is yarn over and pull through all six loops on your hook.  

It is important to lock your bobble stitch when you finish the stitch by placing a single crochet stitch in the very next stitch or whatever stitch your pattern calls for.

The bobble crochet stitch will not always be to the right side of your project so you will have to push it to the right side of your project.

Grandma Leona's Hot Pad

This is a short blog about  Grandma Leona's Hot Pad by  Kathleen Mower at  Miss Abigail's Hope Chest . I can not take any credit for this pattern, Kathleen gets all the credit for this pattern. I am only wanting to promote this free pattern, and show you my work. This hot pad does not use any special stitch, just a simple single crochet stitch. However its the way you make the single that makes this hot pad thick and durable, and here's how. The rows overlap the previous row. I have not done this technique before, but it's really easy to learn. This hot pad has become one of my favorites to make because of the thickness and sturdiness of the finished product, and I like to use 100% cotton so it holds up to the heat better. If  your interested in the pattern head over to  Miss Abigail's Hope Chest   you will find the free pattern and  how she found this pattern while shopping at her favorite craft store. When she saw a beautiful sample of  Gran...
