The stitch is the equivalent of 7DcTog worked into the same stitch:
Ch13
Row 1: HDc in 2nd from hook, HDc into each Ch across. Turn. (12)
Row 2: Ch1, HDc into each st across. Turn. (12)
Row 3: Ch1 (does not count as st), HDc in same st as Ch1, *Bobble in next , HDc in next*, repeat between * and * to last st, HDc in last st. Turn (12)
Row 4: Ch1, Sc into each st across. Turn. (12)
Row 5: Ch1, HDc in 1st 2 sts, *Bobble in next st, HDc in next st*, repeat between * & * to end. Turn. (12)
Row 6: Ch1, Sc into each st across. Turn. (12)
To make a bigger swatch, you can continue to repeat Rows 3-6
Like all new stitches, we might not get it first time. For that reason, take your time and be aware that it may take a few trys to get it just right.
The biggest tip I can give you in regards to the bobble stitch is to gently pull down on your project and pull up with your hook to create some space before completing the yarn over through all the 8 loops.
Worst case scenario, your hook catches and you need to rework the stitch - thats ok - we are practicing and it does get easier. Remember how hard it was to create a chain when you first learned to crochet? Give yourself some grace!
