This is a great video. Very easy to follow and understand. However, in squaring off the spiral, if you want to take it to 60 stitches for that round, you need to put 4 stitches in each corner or you only end up with 54 stitches. And it works better to square the corners, with or without a chain space for the corner. Just letting you know what I found after trying thus. I do love the video otherwise.
I’m a long time crocheter; I also teach. The algorithm chose this video for me. Not too bad. I love spirals! Great for heels in socks, and for using up ends to make dishcloths, cozies for bowls and mason jars. Just remember, if you want to use them in the microwave, they need to be Natural Fiber ends, not acrylic, or poly anything. These will melt. Have fun crocheting! ❤
Thank you, thank you :-). I tried other tutorials and in the end I tossed the mess to the side and swore to never try a spiral again. Then I found your video. And now I have it :-) :-).
Wow, this was the best, most clear and concise tutorial I have ever seen on this technique. Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful! What a great teacher you are!!
That squaring off worked, I am so proud of myself. I been trying to do this spiral for a long time, I finally did it, thanks to your videos. Thank you so much. Now I can work on a blanklet for christmas!!
I've seen really interesting blankets using spirals. The colours and placement of the squares give amazing effects 😵💫 I thought they'd be too tricky for me.. not now!!! Thank you 😊
I love your video! I tried this before with other tutorials and no luck. Your video is awesome I feel more confident in trying again! Thanks you so much. You are great!
I have been wanting to crochet this spiral square for a few years but no one can explain it as easily as you. You have explained this in such a beautiful way that I am amazed and now I know I can do this. Thank you so much. that I
Good evening Roz . Ive done a spiral with three colours but never four . I will definately give it a try . I also turned circles into squares and loved it , so i know i will love this lesson too . Have a great evening .
This is such a fun project. I love the corner idea.😍 I have made spirals before but never even thought to give them corners. Also, I am a huge marker fan. Every project I make, I use a marker(s). That way, there is never any guessing. Great video, Roz. 💖
Exactly- it saves on all the guessing. 😀🙌🏻 Only issue was my stitch markers were not appropriate for this project - they kept wanting to slip out … but I was too lazy to grab the ones that clip closed 😆💕
I have always wanted to crochet a spiral but it just looked like it took more effort than I wanted to put into it. Your video has inspired me to give it a whirl! 🌀You are so good at explaining stitches; thank you for excellent tutorials!!
Thank you soo much for making this video, now i finally get to crochet that spiral sweater, it's gonna a look great, God bless you, you are a lovely woman❤
Hi friends! This is a big video but the technique itself is simplified and really easy to do so I hope you'll give this a try. I worked 4 rounds for each tutorial but you can make your spirals as big or as small as you like. Same with squaring them off. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. xx
This is mesmerizing to watch. I'm on my fifth watch, and finally feeling confident to try it. I'm sure it'll be as easy as you make it look!! I hope you had/ARE having a great time in Italy!!❤
Thank you so much ! We are here for 3 more days and having such a blast ! ❤️ Let me know how it goes, keep me posted . You can do it, no doubt in my mind. Just take your time 💕
Ive wanted to a spiral for a while but they've always looked too complicated... i watched this video and dived straight into a 4 color spiral and love how you explain and show how you can turn them into a square if you wish thank you 😊
Hi,The most colors Ive ever used was 3 but you explained the directions for 4 very well.I actually made a round blanket yrs ago with 3 colors and I just kept crocheting and increasing around until it got to be about 50" or so. a little wonky but it came out looking pretty good.Thank you
Super vidéo! Je me suis mise tout de suite au travail et le resultat est impeccable! Je débute.😅 Merci de prendre le temps pour ces explications. 😘 de France. 💗💫
Always you have an easy and special way to explain everything. Thank you sooo much 🥰 I have a photo to a granny square i hope you can explain how can we do it, if you can ofcourse.
Yes, absolutely! A viewer mentioned that she’s made a spiral blanket before. You would just divide your round by 4 and follow the steps in the video to form your corners and sides 👍🏻❤️
Could I just leave my blanket round or is that too weird?! Lol! If I did that, would you recommend the taper down method to finish off or is there a good border to do after the taper down? Thanks!
Wow that’s so beautiful thank you for teaching me I learned join as you go as well I love your Chanel Your one of my favorite RU-viders 🥰🙌🏼🎉 happy crochet 🧶
Hi! Your tutorials are very clear and articulate. You are a very good teacher! Is there a reason there is no option to "save" one of your videos? I have a favorite crochet video list and I can't add this to it. Thanks!
Sorry, no clue . I don’t know what dimensions a chair pad would be. I recommend finding that out and then working your circle until It reaches the size you want 💕
Great tutorial, thank you! Could you please share what brand of stitch markers these are? I know you said they weren’t great for this project but I’ve been looking for some “bendy but closed” markers like these ones….
Sure, these are called crochet dude by Boye. There’s a link in the description box below the video. I usually get them at Michaels but you might be able to find them on Amazon 💕
Great tutorial, thank you! I've always wanted to try the spiral, and you've made it look doable. Though I think I'll stick to 3 colours. 4 seems way too fiddly with bits of yarn everywhere...not sure my sense of order would cope 😂
Thanks for the tutorial! Really helpful, except that I really would have wanted clearer instruction for squaring my 4 colors spiral. All these shortcuts at the end really don't give me enough info to do it and now I'm stuck with my unfinished spiral. I'll have to search for another tutorial.
I pray you are going to tutorial the multiple color one. For some reasons it ties my brain in a not. I can't read attend because of a reading disability so I have to depend on tutorials to learn.❤❤❤ Thank you 😊
Hi Roz, thank you so much for this video! It's so well explained. I jumped right into the 2-color spiral and I got it on my 3rd try! I had trouble with my yarn tension but soon as I figured that out it turned out so cool. Do you think this would work with single-crochets instead so it looks more 'tight'?
hi! thank you so much for this tutorial. i’ve made it into 9 rounds in total of 108 stitches. how do i make it into a square? do you by any chance know what stitch should i use to form a square? i’ve tried various stitches but it still looking like a circle😢
Hi Roz , so how would you go about joint these spiral squares? What method ? And would you suggest doing the last round where you square it off on one color or would you keep it with the different colors ?
The color choice really depends on your project and what you would like the finished project to look like. Totally your call. For joining , you can try an invisible join method , that’s my go-to. Here’s a video with a few options, though…. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x-3Ijs9Wm58.htmlsi=G8GeQyFf9mA3gd7F
Is there a way to make a spiral in the other direction? I realize I can just turn it over to get a spiral going in the other direction but it just looks crap.
Love your spiral video. Where did you get the neat stitch markers that can be used one handed? I love the ease of using them. I want to find some. You are very talented and I like the way you teach. thank you!
I'm coming from having already made this for a hat and it was both good but complicated to me because it was making the form of the hat not stay flat it was coming in like as if I was making a ball, still currently trying to find my way around it by excluding Inc after the first initial increase (Inc in each, rd2 no Inc, rd 3 1 SC Inc, etc.) I'll come back to report my results
Thank you! Well I came back now from another trial and error I may have just missed some Inc's in my first trial so I do believe it did stay flat after following through as it would be originally for the rows. Thank you so much for guide overall I'm still amazed by the outcome
I think I added a link in the description box under the video. I got mine at Michaels , but you might be able to find them on Amazon. Crochet dude stitch markers by loops & threads
It’s hard to explain other than you will divide 6 into 12 and start there with your stitch count.so that means you will start that first round with 2 stitches for each color and go from there. I’d recommend watching the 4 color to get an idea of the stitch sequence and try to follow that method and apply it to 6.
Vielen Dank. Wenn ich die Spirale viel grosser mache mit vier Farben, ist der Abschluss immer noch gleich? 2Stb, 2 halbe Stb, 2 fm und 1 Kettmasche? Oder wird es automatisch mehr? Dankeee
Sie ändert sich abhängig von der Erhöhungsreihennummer, mit der Sie abschließen. Beispiel: Ihre letzte Runde besteht aus 6 Stb mit einer Zunahme. Verwenden Sie die Zahl 6 als Leitfaden. 6 hStb und 6 feste Maschen, Kettmasche zum Schließen. Ich hoffe, das macht Sinn. Darüber spreche ich bei 7:11 im Video 💕 It will change depending on the increase row number you finish on . Example : your final round is 6dc with an increase. Use the number 6 as your guide. 6 hdc and 6 sc , slip stitch to close. Hope that makes sense. I talk about this at 7:11 in video 💕
Hi! I’m a little confused about ending the circle… is it always 2 hdc’s, 2 sc, ss, no matter how many rounds you have? I have 3 colors, 25 rounds total. Thanks!
No, you’ll have to play with your stitches to straighten out your sides. Takes some trial and error but you’ll find a sequence on the side that you like. If it were me , I’d count how many stitches I have on the side between corners , then divide those stitches up along that side with different height stitches. So that might look like 2dc, 5 hdc, 5sc, 5hdc, 5dc or whatever. 👍🏻💕
