Free-Form Crochet








On a recent car trip I decided to try my hand at free-form crochet, and these are the two pieces that resulted. I have to say that it was lots of fun. I don't have any idea what I'll do with them, but the fun of making them was worth it. My husband just shook his head. My 25 year old son said, "Oh, that's cool." Kids are so smart! Haha.

The chunky yarn is by Rowan. I love the colors and how soft it is. Using yarns of different thicknesses adds to the scrappy, shabby-chic look.

  1. What fun. Maybe I'll try my hand at that. I used to knit all the time many years ago until carpal tunnel and three surgeries stopped that, but I can still crochet! It is such a treat, your blog, I really enjoy seeing all the wonderful stuff you show us.

  5. I've never heard of free-form crochet. How fun. A scarf, an afghan? Who says an afghan has to be a rectangle? Just keep going.

  6. These are works of art as far as I am concerned. Why not use them as a table topper.
