Rad Mini Bobble Knit Stitch Pattern Tutorial

Hey everyone, it's Deja from KnitAndCrochetEverAfter.com, and today is the rad mini bobble stitch pattern, and this is not really a bobble, but it kind of is. It looks like bobbles, but we're not actually making any bobbles. You'll see how we create this kind of texture that's popping up, but isn't a bobble when we start doing it. Download the pattern below. I will talk more about this stuff after we do the stitch pattern, but right now we'll get started. So for the rad mini bobbles, our multiple is going to be 2 plus 2. So multiple of 2 and add 2 at the end for our end stitches. So I did a 4 stitch repeat, so 4 times 2 is 8, and then I added 2 for a total of 10 stitches. This pattern is really easy even though it's a 4 row repeat. You can tell what row you're on once you get going, so it's a good TV pattern. So for the very first row, this is the right side, and I did a couple border rows. You can do that as well, but when you get started, because the bobbles were created by Knit 2 Together, so if you don't like doing Knit 2 Together on a foundation row, do a Do a couple times, or a couple, uh... You know, border rows, because otherwise it's going to be a pain, but you'll see how much pain it is right now. So I'm going to knit one and then I'm going to knit two together. I just hate foundation rows in general, so doing a decrease on one is really bad because it's so hard to get into them. So, but these Addi lace turbos are awesome, so I'm through both. Very difficult to lay that off. And that was the beginning of our repeat, and we're going to do All the way across, so it's non-stop knit two together. So again, knit two together. Try to keep a little bit of slack. Don't make them too tight, because it's just easier that way. One more last stitch, we're going to knit. Got that row done. Now, we're down to six stitches, but we're gonna bring it back up on the next row, so don't worry. So row two, here we go. Row two. I like this row the best because it's really fast. So we're going to knit one, knit that edge stitch, then we're going to start our repeat. So we're going to knit one, and then we're going to do an increase called an open bar increase, and I just like this one because it's really fast. So this bar that's between the two stitches, we're just going to go under it, grab our yarn, And that's it. So we're going to keep doing that all the way across. So we're going to knit one, and if you're kind of spread out like this, you can easily see that bar to get under, and it works up really fast. So knit one, increase, knit one, all the way to this very last stitch. You're doing the increase. And then that very last stitch, we're going to knit. It's easy. So you should have ten stitches again. Two, four, six, eight, ten. Make sure you do, because if you don't, you missed one of those increases. So row three and row four, real real simple. We are going to be knitting the whole third row, and one way to make sure that you know if you're paying attention to what side you should be on, the knit is to be on the side that looks like all purls. So if you're just in the middle of TV watching, you have six stitches you know you're just finished row one. If you're not have kind of a stockinette going, then you know that you're ready to start your next knit two together. So this whole row is knitting, and then row four, guys, and then our little bubbles are going to start over because we have a four-row repeat. So we'll do those first two rows one more time just so you can see them kind of further in the project. So row one, remember, we're going to knit that very first stitch, and then knit two together. So much easier when it's not on a foundation row. This pattern works up really fast because of how like you're decreasing an entire row um and the increasing goes really fast because you're not doing any weird increasing. It's no almost you know as easy as a yarn over almost. That last stitch we're going to knit it. Turn just remember that you're not starting the increase until the second knit. So this first knit is a regular knit then you start your your pattern repeat. Knit one, increase, Knit one increase. I'm just going to stick my finger in there to find it easier. Easy to do. I love that increase. Last stitch, which is going to be... You can see we get that kind of bobble knot almost. We should call it a bobble knot. That's kind of a better name. Let me show you my finished one again. Here it is. So, as you go, you get the little bobbles and all that is is those knit two togethers. So you see that I did, and then you have that kind of two row of stockinette. So you got bobbles, stockinette, bobble, stockinette. So you can kind of keep track of what row you're on. It's not really rolling, so you don't really need to put a border if you don't want. It doesn't really curl up at all, totally up to you. It's just if you don't want to work those knit twos at the beginning, it's a lot easier to do a couple rows of that. The back side. Definitely looks like a backside, it's very pearl bumpy. Cool, it's kind of like a pearl lace almost, so it's not horrible. I wouldn't mind doing a scarf where it's both sides showing. It's not, you know, totally ugly. Whatever you like. It would be neat for color changing. So if you do four rows. For each color, that would be a really pretty effect as well as self-striping. I think this would work with just about any yarn. It's because it's so spread out in texture, so even speckled, because it has those those holes, I think you can get away with just about any kind of yarn with this. But that is the Rad Mini Bobbers, And I'm Deja with Knit and Crochet Rafters, and thank you for watching.
