Good Looking Stripes In Single Crochet Spirals
I recently posted about making jogless stripes in half double crochet. Now I have the same for single crochet.
When you work in spirals, like when you make amigurumi, any stripes you make never line up. Because you are not joining your rounds, you don’t have a visible seam, but you have offset stripes. You trade one “evil” for another.
I’ve now finished editing my newest video so you can now work without a seam, and have clean color changes that line up much better than with the old method. Check out the video below to see it in action. Lefties click here.

Can you please show this method when making a round pot holder or rug? The spiral will show better using a flat item. Thanks.

Hi there, were you hoping to show the spiral effect or mask it? This technique is to get rid of the spiral effect on stripes and have them line up. Your comment kind of makes me think you want to see the spiral? Let me know which one and I will add it to the request list. ๐

I’m trying to make a pot holder with 2 stripes (colors) so that each color is in a continuous spiral. No color change jumps.

Ok, I got ya. That will be a different technique. I’ll add it to the list. ๐
