Pattern Instructions

Setup: Magic Ring and Initial Increases

With Color A:

  1. Make a magic ring (MR).
  2. Into the MR, work:
    • 2 sc
    • 2 hdc
    • 2 dc
      (Total: 6 sts)
  3. Pull ring closed, do not sl st. Leaving working loop on hold.

Join Color B:
4. With Color B, join with a slip knot into the MR beside Color A’s last st.

  1. Ch 1, in MR, work:
    • 2 sc
    • 2 hdc
    • 2 dc
      (Total: 6 sts for Color B)
  2. Pull ring closed snugly.
  3. You now have two color spirals started in the same ring.

Rounds 2–3: Increases

With Color A

  1. Resume with Color A (working where that color’s last stitch left off):
    • Place stitch marker in first st of this color’s round.
    • For each stitch of Color B from previous round, work 2 dc into each st (i.e., inc in every st). (Total: 12 dc for this color in the round)
    • When last st is complete, leave working loop on hold.

With Color B

  1. Resume with Color B:
    • Place stitch marker.
    • For each stitch of Color A from previous round, work 2 dc into each st. (Total: 12 dc for this color in the round)

Rounds 4–6: Continued Spiral Growth

From this point, use only double crochet (dc) stitches for both colors. Use the following increase sequence and repeat as desired:

Round 4: (1 dc, inc) around

  • With Color A: 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st (inc); rep from * around the spiral in your color section—place marker in first st.
  • With Color B: repeat the same, working into the alternate color’s stitches.
  • Repeat until you’ve covered all the stitches in your color.

Round 5: (2 dc, inc) around

  • With Color A: 1 dc in each of next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st (inc); rep from * around to marker.
  • With Color B: Same as above.

Round 6: (3 dc, inc) around

  • With Color A: 1 dc in each of next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st (inc); rep from * around to marker.
  • With Color B: Same as above.

Increase sequence:
Each new round, add 1 more dc between increases, i.e. next would be (4 dc, inc), and so on.

Continue this pattern as large as you wish your circle.

Finishing the Spiral

  1. Once the desired size is reached or you want to finish the work:
  2. To end the spiral smoothly, work the following for each color:
    • In your last round, after the last increase, work:
      • 2 hdc in next 2 sts
      • 2 sc in next 2 sts
      • sl st in next st (this helps create a smooth, rounded spiral edge)
  3. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.

Invisible Join (recommended for a neat finish):

  • Thread the tail onto a yarn needle.
  • Skip one stitch, insert the needle through the next stitch as if to make a regular crochet stitch, pull gently.
  • Insert the needle back through the center of the previous (final) stitch, tightening to mimic a crochet “V.”
  • Weave in remaining tail invisibly along the work.

Conclusion

You have completed a two-color crochet spiral circle. This versatile pattern can be adjusted in size by adding rounds, using any yarn or thread type. Use as a coaster, small mat, or base for pots.

Pattern Correction & Tips

  • Correction:
    After the initial round, all stitches are to be worked in double crochet (dc) unless otherwise specified for finishing.
  • Tip:
    Always use a stitch marker to identify the first stitch of each color section in each round to prevent losing track in the spiral.
  • Size Adjustment:
    To make the spiral larger, continue adding rounds, always increasing the number of single dc between increases by one for each round.
  • Finishing Tip:
    Using an invisible join will greatly improve the finished edge.
