Have you tried freeform crochet?

I'm showing the start of a new freeform piece. This is not a step by step tutorial but giving you tips and examples of what you could do. However, the video shows you many different stitches and there are links to more detailed tutorials of those stitches below. Also for an advanced crocheter it improves your crochet skills, especially if you have mainly used ready-made patterns until now. In freeform you work out how many stitches and rows work best for the result you want to achieve. This can greatly improve your understanding of how a crochet surface is created.

This is a very interesting and inspiring demonstration. Freeform seems like it would be easy, but in reality I feel that you need a lot of experience and knowledge of stitches in order to do it correctly.

This reminds me of my hippie years, I used to have a vest just like that, I wore it over a gypsy skirt. I have a free thinking 8 year old granddaughter that I know will love a vest made in this manner. And what a great way to use up all that scarp yarn, not to mention all the different stitches we will be learning. This is a very young at heart method of crocheting. I LOVE IT.❤️❤️ greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

I love it! It’s like yarn doodling. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!

I made a blanket using all different acrylic yarn scraps; and different stitches. In the style of “log cabin” .... kind of! I call it the “ugly blanket” but everyone likes it ! It also gets added to a little bit each year, so it’s not quite the “lap blanket” it started out as 😂 kiitos videosta! Toivon, että sinulla on mukavaa päivä!

I LOVE IT! It reminds me of crazy quilting which I learned to do about 40 years ago.

This is great for entertaining children and making them expose their creativity while creating patterns!

I’m so happy to see this. I’ve been crocheting for decades but still don’t feel confident enough to do anything without a pattern. I feel free to move out of my comfort zone now. Thank you.

[CraftKrazy]

I have never done this before, but I love what you are doing here! You have inspired me! Thank you!

[ruhan]

Hart of Crochet - it combines the heart (love)and art of crochet. There are so many things you can do with free form . Thank you for the inspiration and showing us the Hart of Crochet 💜💜🥰

Love this thankyou can't wait to have a go, I know as a new crocheter many years ago I was just playing round with basic stitches and I managed to make a poncho my granddaughter I had no pattern, but it worked out ok, as some one now who is partially sighted following patterns is hard for me, so this appeals very much again thankyou xx

[rosiesayres]

This is a Very Genius idea -good for leftover yarn- I love it! I will definitely be giving this a try -love your YouTube tutorials-thanks

[lizzuuu]

This is adorable, like a scrapbook of stitches and techniques in one piece.

[tanyastrickland]

This is so perfect for someone like me who gets bored with super long same stitch projects. So FUN! THANK YOU for taking the time to explain how to do this. ♡
