Crocheting in a Spiral

Crocheting in a spiral? If you find yourself wondering every time how it works and what it even is, you're in the right place. We'll show you!

Crocheting in a spiral simply means that you don't join your rounds. Instead, each round is crocheted continuously without a slip stitch or a starting chain stitch. The important thing is to always crochet the number of stitches specified for the round, and then immediately start the new round as soon as you've reached that number.

To make it easier to count the stitches in each round, we have a little trick for you. Mark the first stitch of the new round with a safety pin (or a stitch marker). That way, you can always use it as a reference when counting your way around.

It is very important that when crocheting in a spiral, you do not close the rounds with a slip stitch and you do not crochet a chain stitch. That's all there is to it!
