The simplest circle looks very beautiful, crocheted, if you knit it multi-colored, in a spiral. This way you can knit potholders, coasters, and use them in knitted jewelry , appliqués, and if you prepare a larger number of motifs, you will get an original knitted blanket, shawl and much more.
Crochet colored spiral Can be knitted in different numbers of colors. In the photo you see a knitted carpet made of two-color spiral motifs. The alternation of spiral motifs of different sizes and patterns gives the illusion that more colors of yarn were used during knitting.
When you look at the finished spiral motif, it may seem that the technique spiral crochet difficult to master.
Three detailed illustrated master classes on spiral crochet using round motifs as an example.
You can easily understand all the intricacies and try it yourself.
How to crochet a colored spiral?
The spiral is crocheted from two, three and four colors of yarn. Let's first see how to knit a colored two-color spiral.
Some air loops close it in a ring.
Perform one lifting loop and knit five single stitches into the ring.
When finishing the last stitch, attach a thread of a different color.
Using the second thread, knit five more single crochets into a ring.
When the ring is full, continue knitting with the second thread, inserting the hook into the single crochets of the previous row. In order for the knitting to proceed in a spiral, there is no need to make a connecting stitch when moving from one row to the next.
Having knitted a full circle with the second thread, put the first thread into work again, covering the loops of the last column with it.
Alternate the threads each row until the spiral reaches the desired size.
What is the secret of spiral knitting?
It consists in the fact that when switching to new row There is no need to make connecting posts to align the rows, as with regular knitting in the round.
We collect 4 air loops. We close it in a ring. And we tie it with 12 single crochets. 
We knit - air, single crochet, half double crochet, 2 double crochets. 
Take the next color and do the same steps as with blue. 
We return to the blue color and knit double crochets, but we need to make an increase. Knit two stitches in every second loop of the previous row. 
On the next row, increase every third stitch. 
On the next row, increase every fourth stitch. 
When we have knitted the diameter we need, we need to tie the thread down. To do this, we make 1 dc in each loop (3 times), 
1 half-column bn (3 times), 
1 tbsp (3 times) 
and in the last loop we make a connecting post. We do the same with the two remaining colors of yarn.
And that's it, we did it! 
It seems that the more colors you work with, the more difficult it is to knit. Nothing of the kind!
Knit a three-color spiral no more difficult than a two-color one, and a detailed master class from Sunny Bliss in the Knitting community will help us with this.
The knitting principle is the same: with the first color we knit a ring of air loops for the starting row, we tie the ring with single crochets. Then we divide the ring into three parts, continue to knit the first part with the first color, then successively introduce two other colors into the work.
It's time to learn to knit colored spiral crochet from four colors of yarn.
Thanks to detailed master class from the site "Home and Hobbies" you will not just knit a pattern, but a useful item for the household - a fun oven mitt for the kitchen. And if you take thicker yarn, you can get a small rug.
Let's look at the example of a spiral crochet pattern of four colors: "traffic light" potholders. This knitting technique is also used for knitting freeform elements».
Thread white We cast on a chain of 4 chain stitches, close it into a ring with a connecting stitch and knit two single crochets into the ring. Next, remove the hook from the white loop (pull the loop a little so that it does not unravel), take a yellow thread and knit another 2 tbsp. b/n into the ring, then change the thread to green and also knit 2 tbsp b/n and 2 tbsp b/n with a red thread.
Then we start knitting with a white loop, knit 2 double crochets into a yellow loop, then knit a double crochet with other colors and continue knitting in the round.
In the initial curls we make increases by knitting 2 sts/n from one loop, then we increase the space between the increases in the first circle by making increases through one loop, in the second through two and so on, it is worth noting that when knitting in a spiral you will not notice the transition to next circle, so count the number of stripes from the center from time to time.
When the circle reaches the desired size, complete each strip with two half-stitches and two single crochets, then tie a border around the potholder: * through 3 loops, knit 7 double crochets, skip 3 loops and knit a double crochet *, repeat from * to * . Don't forget to make a loop of 20 chain stitches tied with a double stitch.
Using the same principle, it is fashionable to knit a two- or three-color spiral; it is better to add more colors of threads by knitting the initial curl.

Spiral crochet This is a type of knitting in the round. It is found in Japanese magazines spiral crochet.
We have long considered crocheting and everything connected with it. Many have even already passed. And now it's finally time to learn spiral knitting.
Japanese spiral crochet
For those who are passionate about the Amigurumi technique or just dream of knitting little adorable creatures, this lesson will be useful. After all, amigurumi came to us from Japan. We have already looked at tiny ones, which amaze with their miniature size.
Well, let's start learning spiral crochet. I am sure that most of you, after completing the lesson, will rush to knit new and very interesting things.

3. First row. For a better understanding, let’s look at knitting in a spiral using single crochets as an example. When knitting in a spiral with single crochets, everything will be exactly the same with the only difference in the initial row - instead of two we make one lifting loop and the number of stitches will be different.

Today you will learn how to crochet in a spiral pattern. Circular knitting is often used: when knitting hats, lace, decorative elements, etc.
As a basis for knitting in the round, a closed chain of air loops is used - initial ring(the initial ring can also be made using a special one). To do this, as usual, we form the initial loop and knit a chain of 5 air loops, then close the chain by tying the connecting stitch into the first loop. In order to avoid having to specially seal the “tail” and to be able to further tighten the hole in the ring, we wrap the free end of the thread around the closed chain clockwise. This is what you should get:
On the hook is the loop of the connecting post
We will knit the circle with single crochets. We knit 1 lifting loop, and mark it with a marker so as not to lose the beginning of the row in the future. It is most convenient to use a piece of yarn of a different color for this purpose. Next, we knit 5 single crochets into a ring. We knitted the first row, in which there are 6 columns: we also consider the lifting air loop as a column.
In the photo - the first loop of the row is marked with a marker, the last one is on the hook.
We continue to knit in the round, without turning the work over. In the second row we make additions: in each loop of the first row we knit 2 single crochets, you should get 12 stitches.
The photo shows the beginning of the second row: two single crochets are knitted into the first loop of the first row, the first loop of the second row is marked with a marker.
There is no need to knit the connecting post and air loop. We move the marker with the beginning of each new circular row, marking the first loop with it. Please note that when knitting in a spiral, the first and last loop of the row are at different levels.
The photo shows the second row of columns. The first loop of the row is marked with a marker, the last loop is on the hook.
Let's see how to add loops when knitting in the round to make the circle even and beautiful. The main rule of crocheting in the round is the number of columns added in each row should be equal to the number of columns in the first row, in our case - 6.
Uniform addition of loops at circular knitting clearly presented in table form:
| Row | Number of columns | ||||||||||||
| Addition scheme | Total | ||||||||||||
| 1 | 6 stitches in the initial ring (including chain stitch) | 6 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 12 |
| 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 18 |
| 4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 24 |
| 5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 30 |
| 6 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 36 |
| 7 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 42 |
| 8 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 48 |
| 9 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 54 |
| 10 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 60 |
In the table: the places of additions are indicated in the green cells (we knit 2 stitches into the loop of the previous row). In blue cells - the number of columns between additions. In the “Total” column - the total number of columns in the row after addition.
For example, in the second row we knit 2 stitches into each loop of the previous row, so the number of stitches between additions is 0.
In the third row we knit 2 stitches in the first loop of the previous row, then one stitch, then two stitches in the third loop, and so on until the end of the row.
In the fourth row we knit 2 stitches in the first loop of the third row, then two stitches and again make an increase - 2 stitches in the fourth loop of the previous row and so on. With each row, the number of columns between additions increases by one.
Continue knitting the pattern, knit 10 rows.
As you noticed, the sample is obtained with small angles. This is explained by the uniformity of adding loops: it turns out that we are adding loops on top of each other, due to which the corners are formed. It’s more convenient to add loops this way: there’s less chance of making a mistake, and for the final result, as a rule, it doesn’t matter. However, there are still cases when a circle is needed, without corners. Then you should “break” this regularity so that the additions do not appear on top of each other, but in different places. However, the total number of additions in a row must comply with the main rule.

Use green thread to tie 35 vp. 3 v.p. Skip and work 3 dc/dc in each ch. Cut the thread.
Knitting small spirals and connecting them
Use green thread to tie 30 vp. (6 vp for the edge and 24 vp for the small spiral). In the 4th ch. from the hook and further in 19 vp. - 3 treble s2/n, 1 treble s/n in the last vp. Work 6 ch for the edge and 1 dc in the first ch. From the spiral.
Repeat the previous steps until you have connected everything with large spirals. Knit this way until the end, and for the last time do not perform 1 treble stitch to join.
Cone finishing
1 Row: 2 ch. skip, knit st s/n in vp. to the end of the row, turn over.
2 Row: 1 ch, 1 st s/n in the loop below, 1 st s/n in the second 2 ch. Finally, turn it over.
4 Row: ch 1, 1 dc in the loop below, * ch 2, dc in the space of 4 loops, repeat from *, and ch 1, dc /n into the loop below at the end, turn over.
6 Row: 1 vp, 1 st s/n in the loop below to the end of the row, turn over.
7 Row: take a pink thread and knit 4 ch, skip 1 loop * 1 group of 7 sts s/2n in the next loop, 6 ch, skip 6 loops, repeat from *, 1 group, 1 ch. p., skip 1 loop and 1 st s/2n at the end.
Row 8: In this row, work a st s/2n in the 6th row and the group will turn into a bump. 6 vp from 7 rows should be behind st s/2n.
Fasten the thread of the main color in the 3rd ch. Insert the hook into the second st s/n from the 6th row and knit 1 st s/2n.
Work 1 dc at the top of the group.
Work 6 treble crochets into treble crochets from row 6 and 1 treble crochet stitch at the top of the group.
Continue knitting like this, at the end knit 1 treble s/n in st s/2n of the 7th row. Turn it over.
If you use one color for finishing, then you should knit rows 7 and 8 at a time.
To do this, in the 7th row instead of 6 v.p. work 6 treble s/2n (* 6 treble s/2n, 1 group*).
Row 9: ch 1 and 1 dc in each stitch below. Turn it over.
Knit rows 10 and 11 the same way as rows 3 and 4.
12 Row: 3 ch, 3 st s/2n in an arch of 2 chs, * 1 st s/n in an arch of 2 chs, 5 st s/2n in an arch of 2 ch*, 2 dc s/n at the end.
