How to Crochet the Snowball Stitch -

Stitch #3 for January…the Snowball Stitch!

If you’re looking for a thick, textured stitch for winter, this is it! This stitch is perfect if you’re looking for something warm. It would make a great scarf or cowl!

Have you heard about my Stitch Along? Each month of 2019, I will be publishing FOUR stitch patterns! To view last week’s stitch, the Blueberry Stitch, click HERE! To view a page with a list of ALL the stitch patterns released so far, click here.

Last thing before we get started on this stitch: I also created a bundle of 4 wintery stitch patterns on Etsy which can be found here. Included is the Snowball, plus 3 OTHER bobble stitch patterns written out for easy printing. Find this bundle HERE!

Materials

You can potentially use any yarn and hook for this stitch. However, here’s what I used:

Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
H/8 Crochet Hook

Instructions:

Fsc a multiple of 3+2 (to start with a chain stitch, you will need a multiple of 3, and then a row of single crochet).

Row 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a st, here and throughout) sc in first 2 sts. *Bobble in next st, sc in next 2 sts. Rep from * across row.

Below you can see an up-close picture of the bobble row.

Should I have multiple of 3 +2 if using a chain stitch at the beginning

Good question! No, if you’re using a chain stitch, you’ll need a multiple of 3. When you switch from foundation stitches to chains, you just need to add one ch to the multiple.
