Bubbles Stitch


This is a fairly simple stitch to learn and creates a wonderfully textured piece. 


You can use any yarn and hook size combo, I've personally found the pattern to come out better with a smaller hook size. 

What I'm Using:

Hook size: G 4.25
Yarn: Worsted Weight

Abbreviations
Yarn Over (YO): Bring yarn over hook from back to front
Loop (lp): The loop on your hook
Chain (Ch)
Stitch (st)
Single Crochet (Sc)
Double Crochet (Dc)
Remaining Chain (rem ch)
Repeat (rep)
* Means to repeat from first asterisk to last asterisk until row is finished or directions specify otherwise
Cluster (CL): (YO, insert hook in specified st, YO and draw up a lp to height of a dc, YO and draw through 2 lps on hook) Repeat 5 times, YO and draw through all 6 loops on hook; Cl made

The Pattern
Chain any multiple of 3 chain stitches (3,6,9 ect.) add 2 to end of foundation chain.

  1. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each rem ch; ch 1 turn
  2. Sc in 1st sc *CL in next sc, sc in next 2 sc* ch 1 turn
  3. Sc in each st across; ch 1 turn
  4. Sc in first 2 sc, CL in next sc, *sc in next 2 sc, CL in next sc*; sc in last sc; ch 1 turn
  5. Sc in each st across; ch 1 turn
Repeat rows 2-5 for pattern



My final square is a little screwed up somewhere but i'm no perfectionist so I love it as is! The measurements are 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 or 8 by 12 bubbles. This piece took a LOT of yarn, so be sure you have plenty when you start. I did a total of 26 foundation stitches and 25 rows including foundation row.

Sorry the video quality is bad, if you guys need something better quality or more in depth let me know! I'm a beginner too, so you can definitely see i'm not perfect at crochet, but I don't want a perfect take. I want a real take so you guys know that its okay to fumble around too! Sending love and fuzzy yarn.
