Scrumble-Along Intro

Scrumble-Along  

Free Form Crochet

Join me in an online Scrumble making frenzy of crocheting freedom and enjoyment.

Rules -

• You start and finish whenever you please.
• You can do just one, or a couple, or all, of the scrumbles
• You can do them in any order you like
• You can alter and change the stitches whenever you want to
• You use whatever wool. yarn, or thread you have to hand
• You can follow my "Scrumble-Along" designs or use your own designs
• Feel free to do your own thing

My most important Rule for Free Form Crochet Scrumbling is this:-

• Adapt, change, disregard, add, adjust, customize, harmonize, modify, turn, change colour, reject, change hook size, use weird or unusual thread combinations......... (do you get the idea yet?)

I'd love to see photos of scrumbles you create from this "Scrumble-Along" event. Let me know where I can find your photos.

Intro

 All my instructions or guidelines are using UK terminology but I will translate some of the stitches in the Scrumble-Along for our American crochet friends.

This is a quick introduction to what is needed for the making of Crochet Scrumbles.

You do not need everything that I have listed here, this is just a guideline to give you an indication of what you could use.

Crochet Hooks 

A variety of sizes. 

Hook Brands are a matter of personal preference so use whatever hooks you are happy with.

The largest one in this photo is a 7 and the smallest is a 2, but you can quite easily do your scrumbles with only one or two sizes.

 Wool - Yarn - Thread

 Raid your yarn stash (or beg and borrow from friends) and pull out all those small balls and left-over pieces.

Throw them all on the floor and sort through them discarding all those that don't 'go' with the colour scheme, or those that just really don't look good in the bundle.

 When you have finished sorting through them you should be left with a fairly harmonized collection to choose from.

The more variety you get in your thread and yarn collection the better.

All thicknesses can be included and I encourage you to try to use up all those fancy-wool yarn ends too.

Your yarn collection can include fluffy, eye-lash, mercerized cotton thread, suede effect, bobbled, mohair, slubbed, feather wool, as well as the more traditional yarns such as 4-ply, 8-ply, worsted, fingering, etc.

The more variety you get in your yarn, the more texture you can create in your scrumbles.
