Freeform Crochet

"Homage to a Magpie "

Crocheted Fragments by Jenny Dowde


I'd heard the term freeform before, but only just this evening decided to do a little search on the subject to find out just exactly what it is all about. So what exactly is freeform? Freeform crochet is a form of art, like painting. The crochet hook is the brush and the yarn is the paint. The result can be abstract or realistic. Freeform is always one-of-a-kind and original in design, never a reproduction. There are no patterns to follow.
The outcome is not only functional, but can be quite beautiful as well. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Freeform includes wearables, wall hangings, handbags, etc... Here are some links to Freeform Crochet websites worth checking out. Just click on the logos below.
