Freeform Crochet Basics: The Two Color Spiral April 1, 2013 · by Marina · in Crochet, Freeform Crochet

I found this great tutorial

Today we’re making a two-color spiral in double crochet. You can use this technique to add more colors, too!

With yarn A make a Magic Circle.

Chain 1, 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 2 double crochet. Pull the loop bigger and remove the hook.

Attach yarn B, chain 1, 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 2 double crochet.

Pull Magic Circle tight.

Continue with B, 2 double crochet into single crochet (A), hold down the loop of yarn A to keep it from getting tangled in the hook …

… and do 2 double crochet into next 3 stitches.

Pull the loop bigger and insert hook into loop of yarn A. Work 2 double crochet into single crochet (B), continue this way to the last stitch of yarn B.

Fasten off yarn A.

With yarn B work 2 double crochet into each of next 8 stitches. Fasten off.

Additional colors can be added at the beginning. Each color is worked in the same way as shown here.
