What is a Bobble Stitch?

The bobble stitch is an easy crochet stitch to learn. It consists of a cluster of stitches which create a bobble like look when finished.

Sometimes you will see a bobble in crochet referred to as a double crochet bobble, double crochet five together (DC5TOG) or dc 5 cluster stitches.

You may also see a bobble stitch use half double crochets or even single crochets instead of the traditional double crochet.

What To Know Before You Start a Bobble Stitch

In crochet patterns, it is common to see the bobble stitch abbreviated as (BO) or (bo).

Bobble stitches are written in a variety of ways. Sometimes they will use three, four or even six double crochets to make a bobble. No matter what amount the pattern calls for the basic principle is the same.

My Tip About Bobbles: I like to space out bobbles in patterns because if you crochet one after the other it can be a bit clustered. I do this by using a single crochet stitch. You will need to single crochet before and after each bobble (BO) to make it look cleaner.
