Welcome Back, Crochet Friends!
Hello, dear reader! We’re so happy to have you with us again on our cozy corner of the internet. Today, we’re bringing you something truly delightful — a crochet pattern that’s as charming as it is easy to make: the Crochet Heart Bobble Stitch. This lovely design creates a beautiful texture and makes a perfect blanket, especially for babies and little ones. It’s soft, sweet, and full of love.
I’m thrilled to share this pattern with you because it’s not only visually stunning but also beginner-friendly. Once you get the hang of the bobble stitch, you’ll find it so fun and relaxing that you’ll want to create project after project using it. It’s a classic design that never goes out of style — you may have seen it before in various baby blankets and gifts. And now, it’s your turn to make your own!
The Crochet Heart Bobble Stitch works beautifully with any color scheme. Whether you stick to a single tone or mix two complementary shades, your finished project is sure to turn heads. Traditionally, some people choose colors based on the baby’s gender — pinks, blues, pastels — but feel free to break the mold and go with whatever you love. After all, crochet is all about creativity and joy!
Making the heart shape with this stitch is surprisingly simple. To help you out, we’ve included a clear chart and a step-by-step video tutorial that will guide you through every stitch. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crocheter, you’ll be able to follow along with ease.
🧶 Materials You’ll Need:
-
Worsted weight yarn in your favorite color(s)
-
H-size crochet hook (or size of your choice)
-
Heart Bobble chart
-
Scissors and yarn needle for finishing
🧵 Stitches Used:
Single Crochet (sc)
Bobble Stitch: In the same stitch, work 4 double crochets — but don’t complete the final step of each one, so that you have 5 loops on your hook. Then yarn over and pull through all 5 loops at once. This forms a bobble.
Essentially, it’s a 4-double-crochet decrease into a single stitch that puffs out to create texture.
📋 Pattern Notes:
-
Begin by chaining 30.
-
Each square on the chart = one stitch.
-
Use bobble stitches for the colored squares and single crochets for the white ones.
-
Right-handed? Start from the bottom right of the chart.
-
Left-handed? Start from the bottom left.
🧵 Instructions:
Chain 30
Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across (29 stitches total).
Rows 2–31: Chain 1. Follow the chart, using single crochet for white squares and bobble stitch for colored squares (29 stitches per row).
