Method
1. Crochet the Spiral Strip
With green yarn, chain a long foundation chain.
Work single crochet (SC) evenly along the chain. Continue working rows of SC until you achieve the desired width of the spiral strip.
Change to cream yarn and crochet one row of SC along the edge. Change back to green and add another row of SC.
Repeat the color sequence until the strip has the same red-and-cream striped appearance as the reference design.
2. Shape the Spiral
Lay the finished strip flat and gently curve it into a spiral shape.
Make the lower loops wider and gradually make the upper loops slightly smaller. Keep the curves evenly spaced to create the Christmas-tree spiral effect.
Secure the shape with small, discreet stitches where necessary.
3. Center Support
Insert a strong yarn cord vertically through the center of the spiral.
Secure the cord firmly at the top and bottom so the crochet spiral keeps its shape while hanging.
4. Finishing
Weave in all loose ends securely.
Add a small hanging loop at the top.
Adjust each spiral section by hand so the green-and-cream pattern is clearly visible and the ornament hangs evenly.
Final Result
A decorative crochet spiral Christmas ornament with alternating green and cream rows, a vertical center cord, and a dimensional helix shape suitable for hanging on a Christmas tree or festive display.
