Main Spiral Motif
Round 1:
Make a magic ring. Crochet 12 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch.
Round 2:
Chain 3, then work 2 double crochets into each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
Round 3:
Chain 3. Work 1 double crochet, chain 1 repeatedly around to create an open lace structure.
Round 4:
Continue with alternating groups of double crochet stitches and chain spaces, keeping the center open and creating a pointed oval shape.
Round 5 onward:
Continue the lace pattern while gradually increasing at both ends. Shape each section into a long leaf/diamond form. Keep the stitches loose and open so the finished piece has a delicate lace appearance.
Creating the Spiral
Make several identical elongated lace sections. Once finished, connect them vertically at their narrow ends.
Gently twist each section in opposite directions while joining them. This creates the three-dimensional DNA-style spiral shown in the photo.
Secure the joins firmly with a yarn needle and matching thread.
Top Assembly
Attach the upper end of the crochet spiral to several natural wooden beads. Thread the beads onto a strong cotton cord and secure the cord to a wooden dowel.
Add two longer cords from the ends of the dowel to create the hanging loop.
Bottom Decoration
Attach several wooden beads beneath the crochet spiral. Finish with a long, soft cotton tassel.
Trim the tassel evenly and comb the fibers gently for a clean, elegant finish.
Finishing
Lightly block the crochet sections so the lace pattern opens beautifully. Hang the finished spiral vertically from the wooden dowel and gently adjust the twists until the spiral is symmetrical.
