Bobble

bobble stitch

The bobble stitch creates a decorative "bump" in your knitting. They are usually arranged in a geometrical pattern or may be figurative, for example representing cherries in a bowl. The bumpy fabric it creates can be cute in hats, purses, sweaters, etc. It is created by making multiple knit or e-wap stitches on the peg. There are many different methods you can use to knit a bobble, two are discussed below. Even though both have many steps but both are very easy to work.
