Great! You’re looking at a beautiful crochet motif that looks like a round flower or doily with a spiral ruffled edge made from alternating orange and white yarn. I’ll help you learn how to make this step by step.
🌼 Crochet Spiral Flower Doily — Step-by-Step Pattern
🧵 Materials:
- Cotton or acrylic yarn: White and Orange
- Crochet hook: 3.5mm–4mm
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
🔸 PART 1: Center Circle (White)
Round 1:
- Start with a magic ring
- Ch 2 (counts as 1 dc), make 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total).
- Sl st to join.
Round 2:
- Ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch around.
- (24 dc total). Sl st to join.
Round 3:
- Ch 2, (1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) — repeat around.
- (36 dc total). Sl st to join.
Round 4:
- Ch 2, (1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next) — repeat around.
- (48 dc total). Sl st to join.
Round 5–6:
- Keep increasing in this pattern:
- R5: 1 dc in 3 sts, 2 dc in next (60 dc)
- R6: 1 dc in 4 sts, 2 dc in next (72 dc)
🔸 PART 2: Inner Decorative Orange Ring (Optional)
- Attach orange yarn between R2 and R3 (or any round).
- Sl st loosely around the round in front loops only to form a colored circle.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
🔸 PART 3: Ruffled Petal Edge
Round 7 (Base for Loops – in White):
- Ch 6, skip 3 stitches, sc in next — repeat around.
- This forms chain loops all around the edge.
You should now have chain loops to work your ruffles into.
🔸 PART 4: Petal Ruffles (Alternating Colors)
In each loop:
- Work 6 or 7 double crochets (dc) to create a ruffle.
Alternate between:
- One loop with orange yarn: 7 dc into the loop.
- Next loop with white yarn: 7 dc into the loop.
- Repeat all around, alternating colors for a spiral/petal effect.
This creates the twisted, spiraling petal edge.
🧶 Final Steps:
- Once you complete the full circle, fasten off both colors.
- Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends neatly.
- Gently block the piece to shape if needed.
