Step 1: Create the Three-Color Spiral Center

The spiral is made by working three colors continuously without joining each round.

Round 1: Make a magic ring using sage green yarn. Work 1 SC, 1 HDC, and 2 DC into the ring. Leave the loop on a stitch marker.

Join beige yarn into the same ring and repeat 1 SC, 1 HDC, 2 DC.

Join ivory yarn and repeat the same sequence.

Pull the magic ring tight.

Round 2: Return to sage green. Work 2 DC into each of the next 4 stitches belonging to the beige section. Leave the working loop secured.

Repeat with beige over the ivory section, then ivory over the sage section.

Round 3: With each color in turn, work (1 DC, 2 DC in next stitch) across the next 8 stitches of the spiral.

Round 4: Continue with each color, working (2 DC, 2 DC in next stitch) across its next 12 stitches.

Round 5: Work (3 DC, 2 DC in next stitch) across the next 16 stitches for each color.

Continue increasing evenly until the spiral reaches approximately 12–15 cm in diameter. To finish, taper each color with HDC, SC, and SL ST.

The spiral should lie flat without curling.

Step 2: Crochet the Ivory Lace Ring

Attach ivory yarn to the outside of the completed spiral.

Round 1: Work SC evenly around the spiral, adjusting the stitch count to a multiple of 12.

Round 2: CH 4, skip 1 stitch, DC in the next stitch. Repeat around to create small open spaces.

Round 3: Work 2 DC into each CH space, with CH 1 between groups.

Round 4: Work 1 SC into each space, CH 5, skip to the next space, and repeat to form decorative arches.

Step 3: Add the Sage Green Openwork

Join sage green yarn.

Round 5: Work SC into a CH-5 arch, CH 7, SC into the next arch. Repeat around.

Round 6: Work (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC) into alternating arches, with SC in the arches between them.

This creates the airy lace structure surrounding the spiral.

Step 4: Create the Decorative Cream Edging

Change to ivory yarn.

Round 7: Work SC around the outer edge, placing additional stitches where necessary to maintain a flat circle.

Round 8: Work CH-5 loops evenly around the motif.

Round 9: In each CH-5 loop, work 7 DC followed by SC in the next joining point.

Repeat around to create the scalloped flower-like border.

Round 10: Finish with a decorative round of SC or picot stitches along the scallops.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Step 5: Assemble the Crochet Blanket

Make approximately 48–63 spiral motifs, depending on the desired blanket dimensions and the size of each finished motif.

Arrange the motifs in rows, alternating their spiral orientations for a beautiful visual effect.

Join neighboring motifs at their outer scallops using slip stitches or needle-and-yarn sewing.

Because the motifs are circular, small spaces will remain between them. Fill these with cream lace connector motifs or chain-and-single-crochet mesh.

Block the joined blanket to create a smooth, even surface.

Step 6: Add the Final Blanket Border

Attach ivory yarn along the outer edge.

Work one round of SC, filling gaps where necessary.

Continue with a decorative lace border:

• CH 5 and skip 3 stitches.
• SC into the next stitch.
• Repeat around the blanket.
• Work 7 DC into each CH-5 loop.
• Finish with a small picot at the center of each shell.

Step 7: Matching Spiral Crochet Pillow

Create one large spiral motif using the same three colors.

Add ivory lace rounds until the front panel reaches the desired pillow size.

Crochet a matching back panel using sage green or ivory yarn.

Join the panels, insert a pillow form, and close the final opening.

Finish with a delicate scalloped border.

Helpful Tips

• Use consistent yarn weight for all three spiral colors.
• Keep unused yarn strands separated to prevent tangling.
• Do not join spiral rounds unless the instructions specifically require it.
• Block each motif before joining.
• Adjust increases whenever the spiral begins to ripple or curl.
• Make a sample motif to determine the correct blanket dimensions.
