Bobble Stitch Granny Square | Joyous Granny Square

Big moods need big texture and the size of this bobble is just right! The size of a bobble stitch can be adjusted by increasing the number of times you reinsert the hook before completing the stitch.

The bobble stitch is the only stitch within the In The Mood Blanket that is worked on the wrong side of the pattern which means the granny square needs to be worked in turned rounds – keep your eyes peeled when you should and shouldn’t turn.
