The Bobbles in a Row Stitch is a variant of the traditional bobble stitch which stacks the bobbles on top of one another (rather than staggering them) to make a very textured geometric pattern. It’s not reversible so it’s best for projects where only one side will show.

Suggested Supplies
Pair the bobbles in a row stitch with just about any yarn in your stash from lightweight to super bulky. Choose a smooth yarn for stitch definition that’ll show off the pattern or pair it with a slightly textured yarn like you see in the pictures for an even more interesting look.
