Special Stitches
- Increase (inc): Work 2 single crochet (sc) stitches into the same stitch of the previous row. This is key for the spiral effect.
The Crochet Pattern
ROUND 1: Foundation Chain
- Using your Anne yarn and size 4 hook, chain 20.
(Count carefully; you need exactly 20 for optimal spiral.)
ROUND 2: Single Crochet Base
- Locate the second chain from your hook (do not count loop on hook).
- Work 1 single crochet (sc) into that second chain.
- Continue: Work 1 sc into each remaining chain across.
- You should have a total of 19 single crochets when you reach the end.

ROUND 3: First Increase Row
- Chain 1 to turn your work, preparing for the row of increases.
- Into the very first stitch (sc of previous row), work 2 sc (increase).
- In the next base stitch, once again work 2 sc (increase).
- Repeat this pattern – work 2 sc into every stitch across the row.
- At the end of this row, you should have a total of 38 sc (since you doubled each of the 19 from previous round).

ROUND 4: Second Increase Row and Spiral Shaping
- Chain 1 and turn your work again.
- Just as before, in the first base stitch, work 2 sc (increase).
- Work 2 sc into each base stitch across the entire row.
- You will finish with 76 sc in this row, and the piece will naturally begin curling up into a spiral as you proceed.

Assembly & Finished Size
- Take your finished crochet strip.
- With your fingers, gently roll and curl the piece into its spiral form, making sure it is tight and holds its shape.
- Take an earring hook. Use pliers to open the loop of the hook.
- Place the open earring hook through the very top of your spiral (insert the hook under the top couple of loops so the spiral hangs vertically).
- Use pliers to press and close the loop of the earring hook securely, making sure it cannot slip out.
- Double check that all ends are hidden and your spiral is even.
- Repeat the above steps for the second earring.
