Welcome Fringers!<\/span><\/h4>\n

What are Fringers? They\u2019re crocheters who have discovered my game-changing secret for working automatically-joined motifs without breaking the yarn between each one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the secret? <\/span><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s called a Floating Ring, or \u201cFring\u201d for short, and it gives you a way to crochet a bunch of motifs without having to sew them all together to make an item.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means you can get into the flow of stringing one motif after the other as if you were crocheting a back-and-forth kind of stitch. So if\u00a0you are put off by some projects because you don\u2019t like the tedium of sewing a heaping pile of motifs together, then my Breakaway Crochet techniques are for you!<\/span><\/p>\n

What can you make?<\/h4>\n

Floating Rings can be used to crochet all kinds of motifs such as simple yo-yos, traditional granny squares and even intricate lacy hexagons. Better still, you can go on to make practical home decor items, boho-style bags and delicate shawls – all WITHOUT ANY SEWING and NO YARN TAILS to weave in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another bonus<\/strong> – since entire pieces can be crocheted with one length of yarn, you avoid the disappointment of knots or magic rings coming loose due to daily wear and tear or frequent laundering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ready to dig in?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Start here<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are brand new to Breakaway Crochet then you\u2019ll want to start with the basics: Part 1 <\/a>goes over key techniques and core concepts, and\u00a0Part 2\u00a0<\/a>is important if you are interested in going beyond 1-round motifs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blog\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am always bursting with new ideas and the Blog<\/a> is the place to catch the latest tips, experiments, quick lessons and new pattern info. I aim to keep things as interesting and informative as possible so check back often!<\/p>\n

Libraries<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am in the process of organizing the Pattern Library, which indexes my pattern catalogue.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in creating your own projects then the Motif Library will be a valuable general reference. You’ll find some goodies there that you can’t find anywhere else!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can see my collection of patterns on Ravelry<\/a>, and watch tutorials on my\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
