Here is an interesting technique that can Help you add a
little pizzazz to any project. Let’s get started, you will need
any size crochet hook, 3 different colors of yarn, I used
worsted weight, label the yarns A, B, & C.
Abbreviations: sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet hdc – half double crochet
1st Round: With color A, ch 2, 6 dc in 2nd ch from hook DO NOT
join rnds, 2nd Round: 2 sc in next dc, 1 sc in next dc, in same space
insert hook, pull up a loop, now have 2 loops of color A on hook, lay
strand of color B with color A in back of hook, yo hook with both
colors A & B, pull thru the 2 loops of color A on hook.
Now have 2 loops on hook, one color A, one color B. Remove hook pull color
A loop to enlarge, set aside you will be picking it up in a later round.
Insert hook into color B, with color B, 2 sc in next dc, in same space
Insert hook, pull up a loop, now have 2 loops of color B on hook,
Lay strand of color C with color B in back of hook, yo hook with
Both colors B & C, pull thru the 2 loops of color B on hook.
Now Have 2 loops on hook, one color B, one color C.
Remove hook Pull color B to enlarge set aside loop, you will be picking it up in a later round.
Insert hook into Color C, with color C, 2 sc in last 2 dc. You should now have a total of 12 sc
(4 sc of each color)
3rd Round: Remove hook from color C, enlarge & set aside loop to
pick up later (do this everytime to switch to next color). Insert hook
in color A (**) * 1 hdc in next sc, 2 hdc in next sc* repeat from * to *
once (**), switch to color B, repeat from (**) to (**), switch to color
C, repeat from (**) to (**) once.
4th Round: Switch to color A (**) * dc in next 2 hdc, 2 dc in next
Hdc* repeat from * to * once (**), switch to color B repeat from
(**) to (**) once, switch to color C repeat from (**) to (**) once.
5th Round: Switch to color A (**) * dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next
dc *, repeat from * to * once (**), switch to color B repeat from
(**) to (**) once, switch to color C repeat from (**) to (**) once.
6th Round: Switch to color A * hdc in next 4 dc, 2 hdc in next
dc *, repeat from * to * once , switch to color B (**) * dc in next
4 dc, 2 dc in next dc * repeat from* to * once (**), switch to color C
repeat from (**) to (**) once.
7th Round: Switch to color A * sc in next 5 dc, 2 sc in next
dc *, repeat from * to * once end off color A. Switch to color B * hdc
in next 5 dc, 2 hdc in next dc * repeat from* to * once. Switch to color
C *dc in next 5 hdc, 2 dc in next hdc* repeat from * to * once.
8th Round: Switch to color B, *sc in next 6 dc, 2 sc in next dc *, repeat
from * to * once end off color B. Switch to color C, * hdc in next 6 sc,
2 hdc in next sc repeat from * to * once. * sc in next 7 hdc, 2 sc in next
hdc * repeat from * to * once end off..
This is the semi finished 3
Color spiral. The colors don’t match but I wanted to use something that could be seen easily.
