Abbreviations:
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
hdc = half double crochet
mr = magic ring
sc = single crochet
slst = slip stitch
st = stitch(es)
Note: Magic ring (mr) can be substituted with (ch 3, slst to form ring).
Spirals (Make 3):
1:
With A, make a mr, ch 1. Working into ring, 1sc, 1 hdc, 2dc. Remove
hook and insert stitch marker into loop. This helps hold the previous
stitches while working with the other color. Continue to insert the
stitch marker in this way for the rest of the project. (4 st)
2:
With B, attach to mr with slst, ch 1. Working into ring, 1sc, 1 hdc,
2dc. Work 2 dc in each of first four A stitches. Insert stitch marker.
(12 st)
3:
Remove stitch marker and insert hook into loop of A. Work 2 dc in each
of first 8 st of color B. Work (1 dc, 2 dc) twice. Insert stitch marker.
(22 st)
4:
Remove stitch marker and insert hook into loop of B. Work 2 dc in next 4
stitches of A. Work (1 dc in stitch, 2 dc in next stitch) nine times.
Insert stitch marker. (35 st)
5:
Remove stitch marker and insert hook into loop of A. Work (1 dc in
stitch, 2 dc in next stitch) seven times. Insert stitch marker. (49 st)
