1. Spiral Ornament — Basic Structure
The spiral is created by crocheting a long curved strip and allowing it to twist naturally.
Spiral Strip
With the first color:
Row 1: Chain 45.
Row 2: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work:
- 2 single crochet (sc) in each stitch across.
This naturally creates a curved strip.
Fasten off.
Second Color
Attach the contrasting color along the opposite side of the strip and work:
- 2 sc in each stitch across.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Form the Spiral
Gently twist the crocheted strip around itself from top to bottom. Sew a few stitches at the top and bottom to maintain the spiral shape.
For the pictured color combinations:
- Red + white
- Green + gold
- Red + green
- Green + white
2. Crochet Star
Make a magic ring.
Round 1
Chain 2, then work 10 double crochet (dc) into the ring.
Slip stitch to join.
Round 2
Chain 3, 2 dc, chain 2, slip stitch into the next stitch.
Repeat around to create 5 points.
Pull the center closed and fasten off.
Star Edging
Attach golden yarn around the outside and work single crochet evenly around all five points.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
3. Star Center
Using golden yarn:
- Make a small magic ring.
- Work 6–8 sc into the ring.
- Slip stitch to close.
- Sew the center securely onto the star.
4. Hanging Cord
With golden yarn:
Chain 25–30, depending on the desired hanging length.
Slip stitch back along the chain or leave it as a simple crochet chain.
Attach both ends securely to the top of the star.
5. Assembly
- Place the golden star at the top.
- Attach the spiral directly underneath the star.
- Sew the top of the spiral firmly to the back of the star.
- Make sure the spiral hangs vertically.
- Add the hanging loop.
