I adore the bobble stitch: it’s such a great texture! I developed this stitch because I wanted a puff… but the traditional ‘popcorn stitch’ leaves a hole in your work that isn’t suited for amigurumi.
The bobble stitch (bbl st) creates a puff… but by using the front loop of the previous round, creates a hole-less fabric just as plain single crochet would!

FreshStitches’ December Schedule
The holidays (and some really exciting FreshStitches events!) are fast approaching, so I wanted to take the time to remind you of the upcoming schedule:
Are you as shocked as I am that December is around the corner?
So, now’s the time to hop on those Kit Club and holiday orders!
This is a great stitch! I’ve used a version of it for toes on a yarn self-portrait before, but I love the way you used it for texture on the crocodile.
I’m excited to give this way a try. Thanks!
