Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Orange
  • Purple
  • Light Purple
• Hook: 6.0 mm (J) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 10 stitches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 3. This chain counts as your first double crochet (dc).
2. First Round: Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close it. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain (you should have 12 dc in total).
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Next, work 2 dc in each stitch around. You should have a total of 24 dc at the end of this round. Join with a slip stitch.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around the round. You will have 36 dc at the end of this round. Join with a slip stitch.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding 12 dc each round) until you reach a total of 72 dc. This will create the spiral shape of your blanket.
6. Change to Orange Yarn: Switch to orange yarn and work 1 round of double crochet without any increases. Join with a slip stitch.
7. Switch to Cream Yarn: Change to cream yarn and work 1 round of double crochet. Follow this with a round of *dc, chain 1* to add texture. Join with a slip stitch.
8. Create Textured Rounds: Alternate between your chosen colors (cream, orange, purple, light purple) and create textured rounds using front post double crochet and back post double crochet. This will add depth and richness to your blanket.
9. Scalloped Edge: For the scalloped edge, work *5 dc in the same stitch, skip 2 stitches, slip stitch in the next stitch* around the edge of the blanket. This will give your blanket a beautiful finish.
10. Finish Off: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, finish off your work and weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean look.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Crochet Spiraled Textured Blanket. Enjoy the cozy warmth and vibrant colors it brings to your home!
