Today you will learn the Aligned Cobble Crochet Stitch. This easy textured crochet stitch combines tall and short stitches and reminds me of a bobble or popcorn stitch.
I had a hard time nailing down a name for this stitch. In the book I found it in it was called the nubby stitch but I have also seen it called the cobble stitch and mock bobble stitch. I ultimately decided on the Aligned Cobble Stitch because it seemed more common.
If you made our 2019 CAL Sampler blanket this crochet stitch will feel very similar to the Diagonal Trip Stitch.
I think this stitch would be perfect for any number of different projects like: cozy blankets, scarves, dishcloths and other homewares.
The aligned cobble stitch has a 2-row repeat and is easy to memorize. You can customize it based on how you want your project to turn out.
The main row of this stitch alternates single and triple crochets. This is the texture row. Then the next row is a row of double crochets. This is where you can customize! If you want a tighter and more close together look you could do a row of single crochets instead of doubles.

2024 Crochet Along: Square 17
We are working on block 16 of our Terrific Textures Crochet Along. This is a year-long CAL running here on The Unraveled Mitten, we are learning a new textured crochet stitch every week other week. Around the end of October, we will join our stitch sampler squares into a cozy blanket.
Don’t want to jump around to see each square?
You can purchase the PDF version of this pattern in my shop. It includes the materials list, all 20 squares as well as instructions for the joining and border.
You can find written instructions for this stitch above. You’ll notice that the instructions are written so you can use this stitch in other places besides this CAL. You can find my notes on how I made my 12-inch square listed below.
- 125 yds worsted weight yarn, Red Heart With Love used in sample
- 5.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors + Yarn Needle
- Gauge: 6 sts x 5 rows = 2 in worked in pattern stitch
- Finished Size: 12 in x 12 in
This is what I did:
- Ch 37 to start (1st row should have 35 sts)
- Follow stitch instructions above until your square is the desired size. For me this was 25 rows. You may need more or less.
- After final row do not finish off, move on to border.
Border Instructions: Do not finish off, working on front side of square, ch 1, sc evenly around placing (sc, ch 2 sc) in each corner space. Join to top of 1st sc with sl st. Finish off weave in ends. Block to 12 inches. (Each side should have 35 stitches)
