The Cobblestone stitch has a bobble like texture, but the bumps are small and dot like. Instead of using bobble stitches, the texture is created by folding stitches. In this stitch guide I will show you how to crochet the Cobblestone stitch with all the pictures that you need along with a video guide that you can follow along with too.

I first used the Cobblestone stitch in the FrankenScrap crochet along as one of the pieces of the quilt like blanket. You can access the whole pattern for free here.

The Cobblestone stitch has a small bobbly texture that is quite distinctive and very textured. It is easy to make and doesn’t use bobble stitches, instead using treble crochets that are forced to fold over. This stitch can be used for all kinds of crochet projects such as baskets, clothing and would also be good for twiddle muffs due to the raised texture that can be quite course if you use a mercerised cotton.

For the sample in the picture below I used Sirdar Cotton DK, a 100% mercerised cotton yarn that is wonderfully silky and glides over your hook. This yarn keeps it’s round shape when using it, it doesn’t flatten out so it’s great when used for stitches where you want that detail to be really clear.

The yarn I used in the pictures of this stitch guide below is Stylecraft Cotton Classique DK, a 100% cotton yarn. It’s a non mercerised cotton that is lovely and soft, but it can get a bit splitty if you frog it a couple of times. It does makes lovely cosy blankets though and is the yarn that got me hooked on cotton as my fibre of choice. I think I first got a ball of this yarn in a mystery bag I got off ebay, and it was a great yarn discovery for me and I’ve been loving using this yarn ever since.

I also used my trusty Clover Amour hooks which are perfect if you are looking for a good value ergonomic crochet hook that won’t cause your hand to ache if you are crocheting for long periods of time. I’ve tried many different crochet hooks over the years, but I always end up coming back to my trusty Clovers. They just sit so well in my hand and never let me down.

Abbreviations

• Ch = Chain
• Sk = Skip
• St = Stitch
• Slst = Slip Stitch
• Sc = Single Crochet
• Tr = Treble Crochet

Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 2 (plus 1 for your turning chain)

Row 1. In the 3rd ch from your hook make a sc (your turning ch counts as the first st of the row). Make a sc in each stitch across.

Row 2. Turn and ch 1. Make a sc in the first st *make a tr in the next st and then make a sc in the next stitch* repeat between *and* making a tr in the last st of the row. To finish the row make a slst in the same st as the tr – this is to make your tr fold over and make a raised bump (this slst doesn’t count as a stitch when working your next row).

Row 3. Turn and ch1. Make a sc in the tr in the row below (skip the slst). Make a sc in each stitch across.

Row 4. Turn and ch 1. Make a tr (the st, not a turning ch) in the first st of the row. You want this stitch to fold over like the rest of the tr in the row, so it’s important you make an actual tr in the first st of the row.

*in the next st make a sc, then make a tr in the next stitch* repeat between *and* making a sc in the last st of the row.

Row 5. Turn and ch1. Make a sc in each stitch across

Repeat rows 2 – 5 until you have as many rows as you need
