Crochet Monochromatic Polka Dot Pattern
The monochromatic polka dot pattern is a variation of the traditional bobble stitch pattern, it’s easy to make and has a beautiful texture.
Monochromatic Polka Dot – Pattern Description
The monochromatic polka dot pattern is beginner friendly and works up fast using only one stitch: the double crochet stitch.
The pattern has a textured side, where the bobble stitches are placed in a polka dot pattern, and a flat side thus can be used in a variety of projects, from blankets and afghans to garments and toys.
Below you will find a detailed illustrated tutorial with step-by-step instruction, a basic diagram, and a video for those who learn better from watching how the stitch is crocheted.

- 4-row repeat
Supplies Used
- Marriner Yarns Super Chunky (super bulky) yarn in grey

Unfortunately, Marriner Yarns ships only in the UK, so for my international customers, I can recommend a similar yarn, Red Heart Yarn, which comes in a multitude of colors and weights, just as affordable and easy to work with as Marriner Yarns.
I get most of my crochet supplies from Amazon, it’s fast and easy and I find everything I need in one place.

Special Stitches
First Double Crochet In The Row (dc1) – sc in the very first stitch, ch2
Crocheting the first double crochet in the row with this method (as opposed to the usual ch3 method) will prevent the gap that usually occurs between the first and second posts.
The Bobble Stitch (bo)
yo, insert hook in the stitch/chain, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops*, repeat 4 more times (6 loops on hook), yo and pull through all loops on hook.
The Monochromatic Polka Dot Pattern – Pattern Instructions
The pattern is a repeat of 4 rows and requires multiples of 8 + 2 chains.
The bobble is spaced 7 stitches apart horizontally and 1 row apart vertically.
For this tutorial, my starting chain was 26 long.
Row 1: ch26
Row 2: dc in 5th chain, 2dc, bo, *7dc, bo* x 2, 3dc, turn
For larger projects, repeat the *7dc, bo* section until you have 3 chains left in the row.
Row 3: dc1, dc in each stitch, turn
Row 4: dc1, 6dc, *bo, 7dc* x 2, turn
For larger projects, repeat *bo, 7dc* until the end of the row.
Row 5: dc1, dc in each stitch, turn
From this point on, repeat rows 2 to 5 until the required length is achieved.
