Main Spiral

Row 2: Work 3 dc into each chain across. The crochet strip will automatically begin to curl into a spiral.
Fasten off.
Join white yarn along one edge of the green spiral.
White edging:
1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc in next stitch — repeat along the entire edge to create the small white ruffled border.
Gently twist and shape the strip into a long, even helix.

Ch 6, sl st into 2nd ch, ch 3, sl st back into same chain, ch 3, sl st back again, sl st down remaining chains, sl st into next 2 stitches.
Repeat around to create 6 snowflake arms.
Fasten off and block each snowflake flat.
Make approximately 6–8 snowflakes.

Magic ring.
Repeat 5 times:
Ch 5, sl st in 2nd ch, sc in next, hdc in next, dc in next, sl st into magic ring.
Pull ring tight and fasten off.
Mini Crochet Baubles
Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc.
Round 2: 2 sc in each st = 12.
Rounds 3–5: 12 sc around.
Lightly stuff.
Round 6: sc2tog around.
Close and attach a small gold bead at the top.
Holly Leaves & Berries
For each leaf:
Ch 8.
Work along the chain:
sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc.
Work the same sequence along the opposite side of the chain.
For the berries, use 3 small red beads or crochet tiny red balls and sew them beside the leaves.
Assembly
Hang the green-and-white spiral vertically and distribute the decorations evenly along the coils.
Attach:
- White snowflakes
- Green stars
- Green mini baubles
- Red berry clusters
- Small gold beads
Use short pieces of yarn so some decorations hang freely between the spiral turns.
Finish the bottom with a green crochet star and round bauble for a balanced final look.
Tip: Lightly steam-block the spiral and snowflakes before assembling so the helix stays smooth and the snowflakes keep their shape.
