In knitting, a bobble is: a localized set of stitches forming raised bump. The bumps are usually arranged in a regular geometrical pattern (e.g., a hexagonal grid) or may be, "figurative," e.g., represent apples on a knitted tree.

The basic idea of a bobble is to increase into a single stitch, knit a few short rows, then decrease back to a single stitch. However, this leaves many choices: how to increase and "how many stitches," how many short rows to work. And how to decrease.

A bobble can also be a yarn pom-pom used to decorate knitted items such as bobble hats.
