Crocheting a spiral granny square is a fun and easy way to create a colorful and unique project. This type of granny square is worked in the round without joining rounds, creating a spiral effect. Follow these simple steps to crochet your own spiral granny square:
Materials:
- Yarn in your choice of colors
- Crochet hook in the appropriate size for your yarn
Instructions:
1. Start with a magic ring. If you are not familiar with how to make a magic ring, you can chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet stitch), then work 2 double crochet stitches into the ring.
3. Work 2 double crochet stitches into the ring again, then continue this pattern of working 2 double crochet stitches into each space around the ring until you have 12 stitches.
4. Do not join the round. Instead, work a single crochet stitch into the top of the chain 3 stitch from the beginning of the round.
5. Work 2 double crochet stitches into the space between the first two double crochet stitches of the previous round. Then work 1 double crochet stitch into the next stitch, followed by 2 double crochet stitches into the next stitch.
6. Continue this pattern of working 2 double crochet stitches into every other space, and 1 double crochet stitch into the spaces in between, until you reach the beginning of the round.
7. Work a single crochet stitch into the top of the chain 3 stitch from the beginning of the round.
8. Continue working in this pattern, with each round starting with a chain 3, until your square is the desired size.
9. To finish off your spiral granny square, cut the yarn and pull it through the final stitch. Weave in any loose ends.
Tips:
- Experiment with different colors and combinations of stitches to create unique designs.
- If you prefer a more traditional granny square look, you can join each round with a slip stitch instead of working in a spiral.
