Crochet in The Spiral

Today I’m excited to be sharing with you one of my favorite crochet techniques, on how to crochet in the spiral!
Crocheting in the spiral is the technique of working in the round in a continuous manner, without joining the separate rounds with a slip stitch. You’ll notice how using this technique eliminates any trace of an unsightly seam, keeping your work nice and neat. It also creates a unique spiral design (thus the name), making it the perfect method to use when crocheting all those pretty beanies, sturdy baskets, and beautiful rugs!

Yarn – MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran (10ply)
Crochet Hook – 5.00mm (H/8)
Stitch Marker

STICHES & ABBREVIATIONS

st(s) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch

PATTERN

Note: Crocheting in the spiral is the technique of working in the round in a continuous manner, without joining the separate rounds with a slip stitch. The most common ways to start the 1st round is by crocheting in the 1st foundation chain or making a magic circle.

SC VERSION

Rnd 1: Ch2 (counts as 1st sc), 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (6 sts)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in every st. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (12 sts)
Rnd 3: *1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (18 sts)
Rnd 4: *1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (24 sts)

HDC VERSION

Rnd 1: Ch2 (counts as 1st hdc), 7 hdc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (8 sts)
Rnd 2: 2 hdc in every st. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (16 sts)
Rnd 3: *1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (24 sts)
Rnd 4: *1 hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (32 sts)

DC VERSION

Rnd 1: Ch3 (counts as 1st dc), 11 dc in 3rd ch from hook. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (12 sts)
Rnd 2: 2 dc in every st. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (24 sts)
Rnd 3: *1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (36 sts)
Rnd 4: *1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st. Repeat from * all around. Do not sl st in the 1st st of this rnd. (48 sts)

REPEAT

Then for rnd 5, crochet 1 sc/hdc/dc in each of the first 3 sts, and 2 sc/hdc/dc in the following st. For rnd 6, crochet 1 sc/hdc/dc in each of the next 4 sts, and 2 sc/hdc/dc in the following st. And so on and so forth…
