How to Crochet Textures
Crochet textures provide playgrounds for the senses, lending visual appeal and stimulating touch. Crochet textures spice up an otherwise boring row of crochet for crafters. A fun and easy texture to crochet is the bobble, or popcorn, stitch. It looks just as it sounds -- like little bubbles rising up from the surface of finished crochet.

Tips & Warnings
Bobble stitch should always be worked on the wrong side row. You can use any number of double crochets to create the size of bobble stitch you want. Experiment with triple crochet for larger bobbles.
According to Craft Stylish, "Remember to stitch in the securing loop of each bobble" when working the single crochet stitch across the top of a bobble row.
