Breaking the conventions of row-at-a-time crochet projects, this design book inspires stitchers to mix and match colors, textures, shape, and gauge to create creative forms and different motifs in their projects without the constraints of patterns. This guide explains in detail three methods of stitching for free-form—template, lining, and mesh method—each accompanied by helpful hints and color photos. The eight projects in this book are ideal for experienced crocheters who are new to free-form and anxious to add their own innovations. Project ideas include the Yolk Sweater, Forget-Me-Not Vest, and Capricious Capelet.
