Spiral Crochet Toran:

Fig 1

Hello friends,
Crochet Spirals look very beautiful and can be used in many hand made items. Just as I used it in making Toran (door decor), we may use it in frock bottom, decorate curtain or to decorate bags, purses etc.



Toran Patti: Upper Green Part: Make chains (ch) as many as the width of the door plus 3 chains (as a first double crochet - dc). They should be multiple of 4+2.
R1: dc 1 on each ch. Then ch 3 turn,
R2: dc 1 in next st, (ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc 1 in each of the next two sts) repeat till end, ch 5 turn,
R3: (dc 2 in 2-ch gap of previous row, ch 2) repeat, dc 1 in the third ch out of 5 chains in the previous row. Ch 3 turn,
R4: dc 1 in each of the next sts, ch 3 turn
R5: As row 4 only join yellow colour in the last part of the last dc 1 then ch 3 and turn
R6: As row 4 with yellow colour. Lastly ch 1 turn.
Then I have divided the total number of sts in 12 parts and decided to make 13 spirals each of 10 sts with central spiral big one of 15 sts. Place 13 markers at each place where spirals are to be done.
R7: spiral at next st, (sc 1 in each st till the second marker, spiral at the second marker st) repeat till the central marker comes. Then make bigger spiral at the centre. (sc 1 in each st till the second marker, spiral at the second marker st) repeat till end.

First as a practice I tried one spiral with different yarn. For that I made 15 chs and rows of dc on that. In the centre of that piece that is on 8th st, I am going to make a spiral. See fig 2.

Making Spiral: Crochet hook is at the st where the spiral is to be made. Now make ch 10 (See fig 3).
Then make ch 6 ( 3 as first dc and 3 to make one picot at the end of dc.  Then slip st on 4th ch so that 3-ch picot made. (dc 1, ch-3 picot on the same st) repeat 2 more times. Fig 4

 Then make (dc 1, ch-3 picot) see fig 5 three more times, see fig 6.
Now make dc 1, ch-3 picot four times in every chain till   the last ch comes.

In the last ch work dc 1, ch-3 picot, twice then hdc 1, ch-3 picot, sc 1, ch-3 picot, lastly join with the starting point of

the spiral by single crochet. See fig 7. The spiral of 10 chs made.

In the centre make a spiral of 15 chains which will look as in fig 8.

Then again I complete all the remaining spirals and see fig 1, the Toran is ready.
