The Yarn I Used

I used Caron Simply Soft for the curly example and highly suggest this when making these! I will link up the yarn below in a few of my favorite colors for you to take a look at.

If you can’t find this yarn, you can use any four weight yarn such as Vanna’s Choice and Red Heart Soft for example to get a similar outcome like my photos.

Make This Spiral With One Simple Crochet Stitch

I am going to show you how to work up a simple corkscrew with yarn using a single crochet. However, this can easily be adapted to a half double crochet (add 1 initial chain & start in 3rd chain from hook) or even a double crochet (add 2 initial chains & start in 4th chain from hook).
