Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in peach and mustard
• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the peach yarn, create a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring with your hook. Chain 2 to start.
2. Round 1: Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To do this, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops left), yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops. After completing 12 dc, pull the magic ring tight and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work 2 dc in the same stitch. Continue to work 2 dc in each stitch around, which will give you a total of 24 dc. Join with a sl st.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. This will give you a total of 36 dc. Join with a sl st.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding 12 dc each round) until you reach a total of 60 dc.
6. Textured Part: Switch to the mustard yarn. Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet (sc) in each stitch around for 2 rounds. This will create a solid base for the textured design.
7. Create the Spiral Effect: For the next 4 rounds, alternate between single crochet (sc) and front post double crochet (fpdc) every other stitch. To do a front post double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back around the post of the stitch below, yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops left), yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops. This will create a beautiful spiral texture.
8. Finish with Shell Stitch: To create a decorative edge, work a shell stitch by placing 5 dc in every 5th stitch around. This will give your mat a lovely finish.
9. Final Touches: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will ensure your mat is neat and ready for display.

Now you have your very own textured spiral mat! Enjoy your beautiful creation and the cozy touch it adds to your home.
