How to Crochet a Beautiful Scrambled Freeform Technique

Crocheting is a versatile and artistic craft that allows you to create unique and beautiful pieces. In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet an unusual and beautiful scrambled design using the freeform technique. With just a few materials and some basic crochet stitches, you can create a stunning piece that showcases your creativity and craftsmanship.

1. Introduction

Crocheting using the freeform technique gives you the freedom to create artistic and unconventional designs. It allows you to combine different stitches, colors, and textures to create a one-of-a-kind piece. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of crocheting a beautiful scrambled design using the freeform technique.

2. Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following materials:

• Two balls of yarn in your desired colors
• Crochet hook
• Scissors

Make sure to choose yarn colors that complement each other and create a visually appealing design.

3. Making the Base Round

To start, we will create a flat round element that will serve as the base for our design. Begin by making a chain of 5 stitches. Then, join the chain in a circle by working a slip stitch into the first chain stitch. This will create a ring for us to work on.

Continue by making 11 double crochet stitches into the ring. Once you reach the end of the round, work a slip stitch into the third chain stitch at the beginning of the round to complete the round. This will create the base for our design.

4. Creating the Petals

Now, we will start creating the petals of our design. The petals will give our piece a beautiful and organic look. We will work in rounds, gradually increasing the stitches in each round.

4.1 Round 1

To begin, chain three to bring up the yarn. Make a double crochet into the same stitch where we started. Continue making double crochet twice into each stitch of the previous round.

Repeat this pattern of double crocheting twice into each stitch until you reach the end of the round. Once the round is complete, work a slip stitch into the third chain stitch at the beginning of this round to finish the round.

4.2 Round 2

For the second round of petals, chain three to bring up the yarn. Make a double crochet into the next stitch and then double crochet twice into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern of double crocheting twice into each stitch until you reach the end of the round.

Once the round is complete, work a slip stitch into the third chain stitch at the beginning of this round to finish the round.

5. Making the Blooming Stitches

To add texture and dimension to our design, we will create blooming stitches. These stitches will create a raised and three-dimensional effect on our piece.

Start by chaining three to bring up the yarn. Make a double crochet into the next stitch and then double crochet twice into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern of double crocheting twice into each stitch until the end of the round.

Work a slip stitch into the third chain stitch at the beginning of this round to complete the round.

6. Creating the Wings

The wings will give our design an elegant and flowing appearance. To make the wings, follow the instructions below.

6.1 Wing Round 1

Insert the hook around the stitch and make a chain. Half double crochet into the next stitch, then double crochet into the next stitch.

Make a double crochet twice into the next stitch and repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the round. Finish the round by making a slip stitch into the stitch overwind.

6.2 Wing Round 2

To continue with the wings, insert the hook into the first stitch of the previous round. Make a single crochet, then chain three.

Yarn over twice to work with treble crochet, and make a double crochet around the same stitch. Chain three and single crochet into the same stitch. This completes the first petal of the second round.

Continue working this pattern of making a single crochet, chaining three, making a treble crochet, and chaining three until the end of the round.

6.3 Wing Round 3

For the third round of the wings, insert the hook around the next stitch and make a single crochet. Chain three, then make a treble crochet into the same stitch. Chain three and single crochet into the same stitch.

Repeat this pattern until the end of the round. Once the round is complete, make a slip stitch into the third chain stitch at the beginning of this round to finish the round.

7. Joining the Wings

To complete our design, we need to join the wings together. Insert the hook into the other wing by working a slip stitch. Continue working single crochet stitches until the end of the wing.

Join the wing by making a slip stitch into the stitch overwind. Cut off the yarn, and our piece is complete.

8. Finishing Touches

Once you have crocheted your desired number of wings, you can add finishing touches to your piece. You can experiment with different colors, stitches, and textures to create a visually appealing design.
