Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Using your chosen colored yarn, make a slip knot.
Chain 65.
For a longer spiral ornament, chain 80–90 instead.
Step 2: First Crochet Row
Starting in the second chain from the hook:
Work 2 sc into each chain across.
You should have 128 sc.
The crochet strip will naturally begin to curl.
Step 3: Build the Spiral
Chain 3 and turn.
Work 2 dc into every stitch across.
This creates a fuller, more dramatic spiral.
The additional stitches cause the fabric to twist naturally.
Step 4: Add the White Section
Attach white yarn.
Work 1 sc into each stitch along the outer edge of the spiral.
For a wider white section, add another row of sc.
Note: This creates a colored spiral with white edging. For the broad alternating white and colored sections visible in the reference, make a second white spiral strip using Steps 1–3, then interlace the two strips before securing them together.
Step 5: Shape the Ornament
Gently stretch and arrange the crocheted spiral.
Twist it into an elegant corkscrew shape with evenly spaced curves.
If using two strips, alternate the white and colored coils and sew them together discreetly along the central axis.
Secure the shape using a few hidden stitches.
Step 6: Create the Hanging Loop
Using white yarn:
- Attach yarn securely to the top of the spiral.
- Chain 40.
- Join the chain to its starting point with a slip stitch.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Step 7: Attach the Golden Bell
Thread a yarn needle with a matching piece of yarn.
Sew a small golden jingle bell to the bottom tip of the ornament.
Secure it tightly so the bell hangs straight.
Color Combinations
1. Icy Blue & White Spiral
Use soft icy blue yarn with white accents and a golden bell.
2. Pink & White Spiral
Use pastel pink yarn with white accents and a golden bell.
3. Purple & White Spiral
Use rich purple yarn with white accents and a golden bell.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Keep your yarn tension consistent.
- Use a smaller crochet hook for tighter, more structured stitches.
- Arrange the spiral coils evenly before finishing.
- Use lightweight cotton yarn to prevent excessive stretching.
- Apply a little fabric stiffener if you want the ornament to hold its shape.
- Experiment with longer foundation chains to create taller Christmas spirals.
Finished Ornament
Approximate length: 20–30 cm, depending on yarn, stitch tension, and shaping.
