How To Crochet The Bump Stitch (With Video)

The Bump Stitch – Pattern Description

If you want to add a unique and fun texture to your project, then I suggest you give this Bump Stitch a try!

This 4-row repeat crochet pattern is a modified version of the textured wave stitch, it’s just made with bigger stitches, so the bumps can be more visible.

It’s easier than it looks and makes a beautifully textured fabric that’s great for baby blankets, modern throws, and even garments.

This stitch looks wonderful in single and multiple colors! You can check out the different swatches I made below.

Scroll down for the step-by-step written and photo instructions and the video tutorial I made for those of you who are visual learners.
