Knitting a Bobble
 
One of my favorite things about knitting is that so many amazing textures can be achieved through small manipulations of basic stitches, and bobbles are a perfect example. Achieved by rapidly increasing then decreasing again into a single stitch, a bobble creates an round raised shape above the surface of a knitted fabric.
As with most techniques in the world of knitting, there are many ways to knit a bobble. Because of this, individual patterns that feature bobbles will specify the details for making them. This week’s free pattern, an update on our Wisteria poncho/pullover knit in softly heathered Berroco Voyage™, uses a distinctive pattern of cables and bobbles to create extraordinary texture. For a demo on knitting Wisteria’s bobble stitch, check out our video. Don’t forget to look through our other how-to videos for more helpful tutorials!
