I created this motif to use as part of larger freeform projects. It measures 5.5” X 4.75”. Although an intermediate familiarity with crochet is suggested this would be a great introduction to freeform. The motif is small but the tutorial is packed with useful information about freeform and a number of different stitches and techniques (see below). Specifically, general information about freeform, a discussion about choosing yarn, explanations of why I do certain things, how to block the final motif, and ideas for experimenting on your own are included. This tutorial is 16 pages and has 53 full-color photos.

The following intermediate/advanced stitches/techniques are included in the tutorial:

• Standing sc
• Standing hdc
• Knurl/Crab/Reverse sc/Corded ridge Stitch
• Bullion (using latch hook)
• Royal Ridge
• Berry Stitch
• Invisible Join when a standing hdc is worked in the round
• Invisible Join when a kn is worked in the round

I used the following acrylic worsted weight yarn available from Hobby Lobby:
• I Love This Yarn – Orchid (290)
• I Love This Yarn – Grape (300)
• I Love This Yarn – Light Peach (230)
• I Love This Yarn – Sunset (416)

You will also need a size G aluminum crochet hook. There are some other accessories (i.e. blocking supplies) that are handy (listed in the tutorial) but they are not critical to actually making the motif itself.
