Bosnian Crochet

Bosnian crochet (also known as Shepherd’s Knitting) is a niche type of crochet that originally comes from Bosnia but has also been practiced throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It is a rarely-seen niche of crochet in which you work rows entirely in slip stitch using a Bosnian crochet hook (also known as Pjoning hook).

Irish Crochet Lace

Irish crochet lace dates back to the 19th century famine in Ireland, where it was a way for women to make money. It used several weights of thread, and motifs were made separately, tacked to paper, and the spaces filled in with mesh. Specific patterns and designs were often closely guarded secrets, and the finished lace was highly valued! Today, Irish crochet lace has evolved and expanded a bit, but the mesh and the rose are still iconic facets of the art.    

Scrum/Freeform Stitch

Freeform crochet (also known as Scrum crochet) is a crocheting technique that uses whatever yarns and stitches appeal to you and working in a multi-directional way without patterns. You can use freeform crochet to create artwork as well as clothes, accessories or anything else.
