Freeform Pattern

The directions are difficult to write out. This is just a guide for you to get your feel for freeform. This piece is worked all as one nothing is sewn on everything is crocheted on. You can freeform is 2 different ways, you can sew lots of small pieces together or you can just pick up a new color where you left off and keep crocheting on the same piece. I use both of these techniques in my freeform.

I am giving you the best directions as possible, but as long as you get the idea that is what matters. Freeform is all about using your artistic side.

I have numbered the colors that I use so you know where to work next and what it should look like, If your piece doesn't look just like mine that is fine, there is no exact in freeform.

I used an I hook for the entire piece and various weights of yarn.

When I tell you to change colors drop and cut your yarn and attach next color with a slip stitch where no direction is given.

Directions:

With color 1, ch 4, join with a sl st, ch 3 work 9 dcs in ring, join with a sl st to top of beg ch 3
