I once wrote a tutorial for a crochet spiral and I find such a Granny Square Spiral also great :)
- The video is in German, so here some explanations that may help:
- For the parts that get broader/smaller she’s using sequences of single crochets (“feste Masche”), half double crochets (“halbe Stäbchen”) and double crochets (“Stäbchen”), she ends every colour with a slip stitch (“Kettmasche”).
- At some points she’s crocheting more than one stitch in one stitch.
- After the Granny Square is actually finished, she adds a round of single crochets in the last colour to make the border more beautiful.
- The Granny Square spiral can always be made larger by crocheting more rounds.
