Crochet is a form of manual art that allows you to create beautiful pieces with yarn and needles.
A popular and versatile pattern is Grandma’s Spiral Square, which combines traditional elements with a modern twist.
In this tutorial, we will explain step by step how to make this charming pattern.
Necessary materials:
- Crochet yarn of your choice
- Crochet hook the right size for the chosen yarn
- Scissors
- Point markers (optional)
Step 1: Start
Start by making a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your middle finger and make a loop over it. Insert the needle through the loop and grab the yarn with the point of the needle, pulling it through the loop. Then make a chain to secure the ring.
Step 2: First round
We will work the first round of the Espiral da Vovó Square in groups of high points. Make three chains to represent the first double crochet, then make two more chains. Then make three double crochets on the magic ring, followed by two chains. Repeat this pattern three more times for a total of four double crochet groups. Join the last double crochet to the third stitch of the starting chain with a slip stitch.
Step 3: Second round
The second round consists of creating groups of double crochets in the chains of the previous round. Start by making three chains to represent the first double crochet in the group. Then make two more double crochets in the same chain space. Skip a chain space and make three double crochets in the next space. Repeat this pattern on each chain space until you complete the round. Join the last double crochet to the third stitch of the starting chain with a slip stitch.
Step 4: Third round
The third round will add details to the pattern. Start by making a slip stitch in the next two double crochets until you reach the space between the groups of double crochets. In that space, make seven double crochets, followed by a slip stitch in the next double crochet. Repeat this pattern for each space between groups of double crochets. Join the last slip stitch to the first slip stitch with a single crochet.
Step 5: Fourth round
The fourth round will create the corners of the square. Start by making three chains to represent the first double crochet. Then make two more double crochets in the same stitch space as in the previous round. Slip stitch into the next slip stitch from the previous round. Repeat this pattern in each slip stitch until you reach the corner. In the corners, make three double crochets, two chains and three double crochets. Continue repeating the pattern on the other sides of the square. Join the last slip stitch to the third stitch of the starting chain with a single crochet.
Step 6: Finalization
Finish the work by cutting the thread, leaving an excess to weave and hide the ends. Use a tapestry needle to thread the yarn through the stitches and hide it in the fabric of the square. Make sure all ends are secure to avoid undoing the work.
