Cecily Keim, of Crochet Me, makes a simple spiral garland; the technique consists of loading up each chain stitch with single crochet to force it into a spiral shape, then continuing with a chain.
Materials:Patons Grace, 2 skeins in contrasting colors
crochet hook, U.S. size G/ 4.50mm Abbreviations:
ch chain
sc single crochet
sl st slip stitch
Ch 20 (figure A).

Working too many stitches
into each chain overloads
it, forcing a spiral.
|
Create a spiral bauble:
Work 4 sc into the second ch from the hook (figure B), 6 sc into the next ch, 4 sc into the next ch. Continue to work 4 sc into each ch until the spiral is the desired size (figure C), sl st into the next ch.
Work any number of ch, keeping in mind you need to create enough ch for the space you want between baubles plus the number of ch you need for the bauble itself. This project looks best when the spaces and bauble sizes are random (figure D). So have fun!
