Learning to crochet the bobble stitch is a great way to add lots of texture and some 3-D feel to your crochet projects.

The bobble is a flexible stitch and you can adjust the sizing with a few adjustments to make the bobble larger or smaller to fit the project.

Let’s get started learning about the bobble!
