3-Half Double Crochet Bobble

In this video, I demonstrate how to create a 3 Half Double Crochet Bobble. This bobble is featured in the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. It creates a beautiful, round, and crisp bobble. For this bobble, I recommend using a crochet hook that is either the same size as the knitting needle you're using for your project or one that is slightly smaller.

When you reach the stitch you want to place your bobble into:
(Worked in one stitch on a RS row)
Using a crochet hook, insert hook into the stitch and pull up a loop, (do not drop stitch off of LH needle), *YO hook, insert hook into the stitch and pull up a loop from stitch, (do not drop stitch off of LH needle); rep from * 2 more times. (7 loops will be on your hook) YO hook and pull through all 7 loops, ch1. Bring the hook to the front of the work and lift up the left leg of the stitch in the row below, YO hook and pull through this leg and the loop left on your hook. Slip the completed bobble to the righthand needle.

I hope you find this tutorial helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
