Welcome to Part 3 of my Free Form Scarf.<\/h1>\n

See earlier posts on this blog for Free Form Scarf Part 1 and Part 2.\u00a0 This is my very first Free Form Crochet piece.\u00a0 I have ventured out into a new to me art form in fiber arts, no patterns, just crochet; changing stitches, changing yarns and just creating as you go along.\u00a0 I love the textures that I am creating.\u00a0 Each small section is called a ‘Scrumble’\u00a0 I finished it some weeks back and am just getting around to posting.\u00a0 Sorry, life happens and I get busy.<\/h2>\n

In Part 1, I showed my very first 3 scrumbles, the beginnings of the Scarf.<\/h2>\n

In Part 2, I showed scrumbles 4-10, and the completed scarf to that point, which was about two thirds complete.<\/h2>\n

In this post, I have decided to show the creating of scrumble # 11 in some detail.\u00a0 To give you an idea of how I created each scrumble and how I created this scarf, and to also give you inspiration to create your own FF piece.<\/h2>\n

<\/h1>\n

\"SANY0079\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I started at the top of the 10th scrumble creating the 11th scrumble.\u00a0 I hooked the pink and white stripped yarn on, and single crocheted around the purple chain stitch, (pic above).<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SANY0082\"<\/a>I then started across the top of the purple with a couple of single crochets.\u00a0 I chained 5 stitches and skipped 4 single crochets and slip stitched in the 5th single crochet of the purple row.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SANY0086\"<\/a>At this point I decided to turn my work.\u00a0 I then chained 2 and turned.\u00a0 I am now working on the back side.\u00a0 I started making puff stitches across the open chain stitch area.\u00a0 Puff stitches are created by making 4, 5 or 6 double crochets but not finishing the stitch and keeping the last loop of each stitch on the hook and starting the next double.\u00a0 You then pull one final loop through all 4, 5 or 6 loops on the hook and pull them together tight and slip stitch, forcing the yarn to puff out ward.\u00a0 The puffs show on the right side.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0091\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0The rest of the puff stitches are complete across the open chain space.\u00a0 Remember this is the back side of the work, they are puffed out on the right side.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0094\"<\/a>At this point I decided to change yarn.\u00a0 I changed to a pretty blue and pink textured yarn.\u00a0 I am having so much fun.\u00a0 You look through the bag of scrap yarn and think, that color would be good to use next, and you go for it.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0095\"<\/a>I created some more puff stitches across the top of the single crochets from the row before with the blue and pink yarn.<\/h2>\n

<\/h1>\n

\"SANY0098\" <\/a>Here is a pic of the front of the work showing the puff stitches.\u00a0 I really love the texture of this yarn.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SANY0100\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

This pic shows the front side of both the blue and pink puff stitches and the pink and white puff stitches.\u00a0 Notice the different look and texture of they yarns and the difference in the puff stitches.\u00a0 Quite interesting effect making the same stitches with different yarns.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SANY0104\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Next, I worked behind the pink and white twisted yarn puff stitches.\u00a0 Chaining 1 or 2 stitches and slip stitching between the puffs.\u00a0 Laying some foundation chain stitches behind the puffs to work the next row off of.\u00a0 I worked these behind the puffs, then at the end of the row I chained 2 and turned and started placing double crochets around my chain stitches behind the pink and white puff stitches.\u00a0 Now I am again working on the back side of the scrumble. (You can see the chain stitches behind the puffs I placed on the row before.)<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0107\"<\/a>I continued putting some double crochet stitches, some triple crochet stitches behind the pink and white puff stitches I made on the previous row.\u00a0 Still working on the back side of the scrumble and working these around the 1 or 2 chain stitches I placed between the puff stitches on the back side.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0117\"<\/a>This pic shows the completed row.\u00a0 I came across the row with double crochets, triple crochets, then dropped down to single crochets as I came across to the purple through the center.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0124\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

I then attached the coral yarn and chained 1 and turned.\u00a0 I started putting 3 single crochets in each stitch to force the piece to ruffle.\u00a0 (Note the blue and pink doubles and triples behind the pink and white puff stitches on the left hand side of the pic.)<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0125\"<\/a>You can now see the coral is forcing a ruffle.\u00a0 3 single crochets in each stitch across.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0131\"<\/a>And here is the completed # 11 scrumble in my Scarf.<\/h2>\n

I will show the rest of the scrumbles and the completed scarf in my next blog post.\u00a0 If you have not tried Free Form Crochet or FF for short, I encourage you to try it.\u00a0 It is quite fun.<\/h2>\n

I have become a member of the International Free Form Fiberarts Guild.\u00a0 It is free to join.\u00a0 There are plenty of wonderful people out there who will help you and encourage you to venture out into FF.\u00a0 If you have any questions please message me.\u00a0 If I cannot answer them I will find someone who can.<\/h2>\n
