I created this motif purely as a tutorial to demonstrate freeform stitches and techniques. The motif itself measures 5” X 6.5” and could potentially be used as anything from a project embellishment to component of a large freeform project. The stitches and the shapes are quite versatile. They would be easy to modify as well as work into a larger project. It has a lot of texture that is quite visually interesting.

An intermediate familiarity with crochet is suggested. This tutorial is 9 pages and has 8 full-color photos. The second and third pictures in the listing show what the tutorial looks like. If you are new to some of the more advanced stitches/techniques it may be necessary to view a video in order to learn it. I provide written explanation of the stitches as well as links to the videos of where I learned.

Advanced stitches/techniques used in the tutorial:
• Magic Circle
• How to join motif sections
• Bullion
• Topstitching
• Spiral construct

I used the following acrylic yarn available from a number of Big Box stores:
• Worsted yarn in the following colors:
- Variegated
- Green (that matches variegated0
- Purple (that matches variegated)
- Fuchsia (that matches variegated)
