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.
