The crochet spiral grid stitch is a unique and visually stunning stitch that adds texture and depth to any project. If you're looking to take your crochet skills to the next level and create a one-of-a-kind piece, this stitch is definitely worth learning.
In this tutorial video, we will be focusing on the 2-color version of the spiral grid stitch. This stitch involves using post stitches (front and back post double crochet) to create a spiral pattern that alternates between two colors.
To begin, you will need two colors of yarn and a crochet hook appropriate for the weight of your yarn. You will also need to know how to do a front and back post double crochet.
Once you have your materials and skills ready, you can begin by chaining a multiple of 6 stitches plus 3. This will give you the foundation for your stitch pattern. Then, you will work alternating rows of front and back post double crochet stitches to create the spiral grid pattern.
The key to creating the spiral effect is to work the post stitches in a specific sequence. For example, in the first row, you will work a front post double crochet around the post of the second stitch from the hook, followed by a back post double crochet around the post of the next stitch. You will then repeat this sequence (FPDC, BPDC) across the row, ending with a front post double crochet around the last stitch.
In the second row, you will begin by working a back post double crochet around the post of the second stitch from the hook, followed by a front post double crochet around the post of the next stitch. You will then repeat this sequence (BPDC, FPDC) across the row, ending with a back post double crochet around the last stitch.
You will continue to alternate these two rows to create the spiral grid pattern. As you switch colors, be sure to carry the unused color along the back of the work to keep it tidy and prevent tangling.
Overall, the 2-color crochet spiral grid stitch is a challenging but rewarding stitch that adds a unique touch to any project. With a little patience and practice, you can master this stitch and create beautiful, eye-catching pieces.
