Love them or hate them, bobble stitches are a staple in the yarn arts. I love bobbles for their simple texture and easy dimension. They add interest to plain yarns and elevate simple projects. As a crochet designer, I’ve added bobbles to everything from beanies to blankets. I just can’t get enough! And I’m so excited to share the Tunisian Crochet Bobble Stitch with you.

The Tunisian Crochet Bobble Stitch uses the same basic mechanics as bobbles made with traditional crochet. The difference comes in how to manage the loops to ensure all stitches are accounted for. Try this fun stitch for your next project.

MATERIALS

  • Worsted weight yarn – color C
  • 6.5mm Tunisian crochet hook with 16″ cord
  • 6mm crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle

FINISHED SIZE

12 x 12 inches square after blocking

GAUGE

The gauge varies for each square of the Tunisian Holiday Sampler Blanket. Reference the starting chain stitch multiple to make adjustments to your square. All squares should measure about 11.5″ square before the border is added.

ABBREVIATIONS

  • 2sc = 2 single crochet in the same stitch (increase made)
  • Bo = bobble (see Special Stitches below)
  • Ch(s) = chain(s)
  • Lts = last Tunisian stitch (see Special Stitches below)
  • Rep = repeat
  • RetP = return pass
  • Sc = single crochet
  • Sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (decrease made)
  • Sk = skip
  • St(s) = stitch(es)
  • Tss = Tunisian simple stitch
  • Yo = yarn over

SPECIAL STITCHES

  • Bobble (bo) – (yo, insert hook into next stitch as for Tunisian knit stitch, pull up a loop, yo, pull through next 2 loops on hook) 5 times, yarn over, pull through next 5 loops on hook.
  • Last Tunisian Stitch (Lts) – insert hook under BOTH vertical bars of the last stitch and complete as for Tunisian simple stitch
  • Return Pass (RetP) – ch 1, (yo, pull through the next 2 loops) until only one loop remains on the hook

STITCH MULTIPLE

Work the Bobble Stitch over any number of stitches.

PATTERN NOTE: Personalize your square by creating a blank chart of 39 columns and 32 rows. Use cross-stitch pictures and alphabets to create your own design in bobble stitches.

BORDER NOTES

To ensure that all squares of the Tunisian Holiday Sampler Blanket will join evenly, apply the Standard Border. All squares need to have 35 single crochet stitches on each size. This means you will have to increase the number of edge stitches in some cases, and decrease the number of edge stitches in other places.

  • To increase the number of stitches along an edge, evenly place 2sc increases along the edge where needed.
  • To decrease the number of stitches along an edge, evenly place sc2tog decreases along the edge where needed.

INSTRUCTIONS

ROW 1: With C and 6.5mm corded hook, ch 39, pull up a loop in the back bump of the 2nd ch from hook and each remaining ch, RetP.

ROWS 2-32: Work the chart below to complete the square. Rows begin on the right edge and are worked from the bottom up. White squares represent Tss; black squares represent bo stitch. The last stitch of the row is always worked as for Lts.

When finished with chart, slip stitch in each vertical bar along the top edge loosely to bind off. Do not cut yarn.

STANDARD BORDER

  1. Change to 6mm crochet hook and ensure the square is facing right side up.
  2. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), single crochet 35 stitches evenly across the first edge of the square, placing increases and decreases where needed. At corner, ch 2 and rotate to work along the next edge.
  3. Single crochet 35 stitches evenly across the edge, placing increases and decreases where needed. At corner, ch 2 and rotate to work along the next edge.
  4. Repeat Step 3 for the remaining 2 sides. At the end of the round, join with a slip stitch in the first single crochet of the round. Fasten off and block your finished square to 12″ x 12″.
