Free Spiral Crochet Pattern and a fun Giveaway!
I love fun new crochet patterns and just happened upon a vintage pattern for a spiral crochet using three colors. Which of course filled my head with colorful ideas. So I sat down this past weekend with some brightly colored yarn a plan, and a few yummy Jif® Bars (because sometimes a little peanut butter helps the creative process) and created my own spiral crochet pattern.
Yes, Jif® Bars are involved! And if you love a quick and easy snack, be sure to check the bottom of this post for a fun giveaway!
These pretty spirals are going to be used in a future project, which I will feature later here on the Sitcom. In the meantime, let me show you how to make them!
Begin by choosing three colors of yarn that you love. Half the fun of this project is enjoying the colors! Any size crochet hook will do. I used a G sized hook for the spirals in this tutorial.
Create a “Magic Ring” using color “A”. Click here for a simple video on the “Magic Ring“.
With color A, sc, 2 hdc, and 1 dc into the loop.
Add on color B. 1 sc, 2 hdc, and 1 dc into the loop.
Add on color C. 1 sc, 2 hdc, and 1 dc into the loop.
Pull the magic circle closed. You now have the beginning of your spiral!
Choose a section to start with. (From this point on, all stitches are done in the back loop of each stitch). Do 2 dc in each of the 4 stitches on the next section.
You will end up with the beginning of a spiral. Drop the color you are working on and pick up the color in the next section. (In the photo above, I moved from blue to pink).
Do 2 dc in each of the 4 stitches on the next section.
Drop the color you are working on and pick up the color in the next section. (In the photo above, I moved from pink to green). Do 2 dc in each of the next 4 stitches on the next section.
Continue on with this color (in the photo above, I am using green). (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)*repeat to the end of the row.
Switch to next color (in the photo above, I am using blue). (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)*repeat to the end of the row.
Switch to next color (in the photo above, I am using pink). (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)*repeat to the end of the row.
Switch to next color (in the photo above, I am using green). (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)*repeat to the end of the row.
Switch to next color (in the photo above, I am using blue). (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)*repeat six times.
End each color with 1 hdc in next two stitches, 1 sc in next stitch and 1 sl in next stitch. Cut and tie off loose ends.
I love the look of these pretty spirals! They would make great coasters or pot holders or even can be used for other pretty projects! See, those peanut butter bars definitely inspire!
Be sure to stay tuned for a future post on what I end up doing with these pretty spirals!

Curious if you have made these spirals into anything yet?.
In my house, no glitter and lots of cat hair. And we are more like a comedy of errors, Shakespeare style!
Hi Suzy! I was looking for the published pattern, paid or free… just looking for one I love. Did you ever publish it because I can’t seem to find it.
Thanks!
Hi Colleen!
Yes, you just have to keep on going with the spiral. Would love to see what you come up with!

Hi Suzy, love this, thanks for sharing! I thought I’d ask before I start, I want to make a circular cushion, can I just keep going with the spiral? Many thanks from New Zealand.
Hi Noel!
I have the pattern just about completed. I tend to be all over the place, so this one fell to the wayside while I was completing some summer projects. I plan to have it listed sometime this month. Thank so much for following along!
suzy
Sorry I have just found this page, and love it. Have you completed the pattern to turn this spiral into a square ? I am keen to do a blanket with spirals but need to make them into squares. Thank you.
very cute pattern
Hi Tyrena!
I am currently working up the pattern to make this into a square. Should have something out soon, so stay tuned!
suzy
How do i make this into a square
I love this motif. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern!
I love it. Such a fun pattern I can’t wait to try it 🙂 Pinning and Tweeting. (seen on WakeupWednesdayLinkParty)
Love the spirals! I’m thinking about taking a crochet class; it kind of beckons me. I’d love to see wall hangings, wind chimes, just about anything! Thank you!
Great tutorial thank you
More Gourds & snowflake themes for Christmas !!!! TY
I love this spiral crochet! I can’t eat peanut butter but it’s my husband’s addiction next to chocolate! Humm, what do I want to see? Actually, I enjoy just about anything you create. I think I’d like to see some Christmas crafts I can do with my grandchildren.
I must have forgotten to put my name and email in the box because it says Anonymous.
With the winter season fast approaching, scarves, mittens, booties, etc, would be a great pattern to have.
enjoyed making this from your tutorial. Thanks.
Always anxious to try something new????
Wind chimes, acrylic painting for sure,,art journaling,,fabric paper
I love quilting and sewing projects.
I would like to see Christmas ornament ideas!
I would love to see some crocheted wall hangings for Christmas.
I am new to crocheting. I would really love to learn how to make the crocheted wash clothes that my gram used to make and give to all of us for christmas. She has been gone for awhile now and I could really use some nee ones.
Love this pattern. Must give it a try. Multi colors without having to add yarns over and over. How about some unique door ornaments for various holidays…Fall, Christmas, Easter-Spring, etc. Ps..love anything with Jif!!
how about crochet projects for my chihuahuas?
Would love to see anything baby! 🙂 Love these spirals.

I’ve never seen spiral crochet! Very pretty!
I don’t buy any PB other than Jif. Eating or baking, it’s my favorite.
I would like to see how to’s for Wreaths/turkeys/ xmas trees
Hey Suzy;
I would Love to see any Crafts for the up and coming Holidays.
Pumpkins, and Christmas type things.
(Any Mermaid items are Always a huge Plus! 🙂
Thank you for the tutorial. I keep trying to teach myself to crochet and at some point I know I’ll want to try this too.
Wow. In my home we only buy Jif and these I must try. Go ahead and laugh because I’ve never seen these before, but am sure they must be super tasty. I’d love to try them.
The one thing I am trying to learn to crochet again to make IF I ever locate instructions is for a scrubby pad. My husband’s grandmother made them to give to all the women each year at Thanksgiving but I never thought to ask if she would write down how she made them exactly and now she’s gone sadly. I did talk to her one time about them and told her how much I loved them but couldn’t figure out what they were made from. They were only small-ish squares or probably rectangular in shape and worked SO well. She told me they were made from a plastic type tulle or something similar that she had to cut in order to use to make them. I just don’t remember now what she said it was. And I don’t know how she made them either so that’s what my request would be if you know what I’m speaking of and how to make them.
Thank you.
These great waves of color just want me to make them into X-mas candys to use on the tree.
I would love to see some slippers/booties for toddlers to adults. So hard to find for children ages 1 – 10.
I would LOVE for you to do the next in your series of The Twelve Days of Christmas painting patterns/designs. Let’s see: You have your wonderful PARTIDGE, two TURTLE DOVES, and I seem to recall three FAT HENS somewhere.
So what is next? Inquiring minds want to know.
you are so talented in coming up with unique ideas I would like some new ideas for mug rugs or cup cozies for gift giving.
I would like to see thanksgiving decor like a crochet hot pad
Love this pattern will be trying it soon, also love Jiff so will love to try the new bars.. Keep up the great work.
Angel hugs and happy hooking
Sandi
Suzy….love the crochet pattern. Can’t wait to see what these are going to be made into. I lost my mom last year. When I saw this weeks crochet pattern I thought of my mom and how much fun her and I would have had working this pattern together. Missing her so much. As far as crafts…..I would love to see a cute Advent Calendar for the Christmas holiday. Thanks for sharing…….????
easy and fast ideas you always have great ideas so i cant wait to see what you have planned
I’ve never seen spiral crochet! That is cool! I would like to see some knitting posts. By the way, you know peanut butter is my favorite, he he
Just learning crochet, so anything easy! And Peanut Butter Jiff Bars….!!!
Christmas ornaments! Christmas wreathes!! Peanut butter!!! Well, I’d keep the peanut butter separate…
I love just about all the projects you do. But i would love ideas with crocheting or sewing gifts for christmas.
I LOVE these crocheted patterns! My daughter makes coasters to give as gifts and also sell at fundraising events (Breast Cancer Walk, Girl Scout Fundraising, Autism Speaks Fundraiser). She hasn’t learned to crochet quite yet, but I would love to sit down with her and do it together (while trying these JIF bars out).
Holiday idea: hmm I’m 40 and not sure how old you are, but I remember making hanging ornaments for our tree when I was younger using our pictures and pieces of fabric. We made mini picture frames covered in fabric with some cotton stuffing inside, and a few other fabric made ornaments gluing our pictures on them in different fashions. Those might be a fun project to post for the nostalgic ones like me. 🙂
Thank you!!!
Well finally a simple tutorial of the spiral stitch. Think I can actually do it. So new jif bars…sound to good to be true.
