Granny Bobble Spiral Pattern

The Granny Bobble Spiral takes this adaptation to the next level by introducing bobbles, or clusters of double crochets, into the design. These bobbles are strategically placed within the spiral, adding texture, dimension, and visual interest to the piece. The result is a beautiful fusion of traditional and contemporary crochet that can be used to create a wide range of items, from blankets and shawls to garments and accessories.

Creating the Granny Bobble Spiral

To create a Granny Bobble Spiral, crocheters typically start with a center ring and work in a continuous spiral, gradually increasing the number of stitches to form a circular shape. The bobbles are added at specific points in the spiral, often in a symmetrical pattern, to create a balanced and visually appealing design. The bobbles can vary in size and spacing, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

In the Granny Bobble Spiral pattern, you use the concept of granny square clusters along with bobbles to create a spiral design. Bobbles are a type of crochet stitch that produces a raised, textured “popcorn” effect. By incorporating bobble stitches into your granny square clusters and arranging them in a spiral pattern, you achieve a visually striking and three-dimensional design.

The versatility of the Granny Bobble Spiral is truly remarkable. Crafters can adapt the technique to create a wide array of projects, each with its own unique charm. Here are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Blankets: Craft a cozy and visually striking afghan by repeating the Granny Bobble Spiral pattern in a variety of colors.

Shawls and Wraps: Create elegant and textured shawls or wraps that are perfect for adding warmth and style to any outfit.

Garments: Incorporate the Granny Bobble Spiral into sweaters, cardigans, or vests for a fashion-forward twist on traditional crochet garments.

Accessories: Make eye-catching scarves, hats, and bags that are sure to turn heads and spark conversations.

Home Décor: Add a touch of handmade beauty to your living space with decorative cushions, pillow covers, or table runners.

The Apache Tears Crochet Pattern

Pattern

Begin by using your first color to create a magic loop and chain 4. Next, craft a bobble stitch (refer to special abbreviations). Afterward, chain 3 and gently pull up the loop to ensure it doesn’t unravel before releasing it from your hook.

Now, switch to the next color and attach it to the magic loop. Repeat the same stitches used with the first color – chain 4, create a bobble stitch, and chain 3. Again, enlarge the loop and drop it from your hook.

Repeat this process with the remaining two colors. Afterward, tighten the magic loop. Each color should now have a chain-4, one bobble, and then a chain-3.

Insert your hook back into the loop where you worked with the first color and tighten it.

Now, you’re going to work into the side of the chain-4 from the next color in the first round. This will be the first corner. Create a bobble, chain 4, make another bobble, and then chain 3. Once again, pull up the loop and drop it from your hook.

Repeat this step with the other three colors.

Revisit the loop from the first color and create a bobble in the next chain space, followed by a chain 3.

Continue by forming the next corner in the subsequent chain space: craft a bobble, chain 4, make another bobble, and then chain 3. Repeat this pattern with the other three colors.

Maintain this pattern, working a bobble and then a chain 3 in each side space, and creating a bobble, followed by a chain 4, another bobble in each corner. Finally, add one more chain 3 with each color. Generally, when working spirals, it’s helpful to use stitch markers, but since each color in every row finishes with the corner bobbles, you’ll always know when you’ve completed each row’s color.

To finish, create a bobble in the next chain space and chain 3.

The next bobble will be made using half double crochet stitches instead of double crochets, so work hdc 4 instead of dc 4. After completing the bobble, chain 3.

The subsequent bobble will be made using single crochet stitches instead of double crochets.

To complete the pattern, chain 2 and slip stitch into the chain-2 corner space. Cut the yarn and fasten it off.

Repeat these steps with the other three colors. However, with the final color, refrain from fastening off…

Double crochet 3 in the corner chain space, [chain 1, double crochet 3] in the next four chain spaces, chain 2; repeat this sequence three more times. Slip stitch into the first double crochet and fasten off.
