Spirals Throw Crochet Pattern

If you love eye-catching textures and bold color play, the Spirals Throw Crochet Pattern is going to steal your heart. This stunning throw is built from individual two-color spiral motifs that create movement, depth, and a modern artistic feel once assembled. Each spiral looks intricate, but the construction is surprisingly rhythmic and enjoyable, making this project perfect for adventurous beginners and experienced crocheters alike.

What makes this pattern extra special is its modular design. The spirals are crocheted separately, sewn into panels, and then joined with beautifully textured edging. This means you can work on one spiral at a time—great for portable crafting or using up yarn leftovers in coordinated color pairs. The final throw is generously sized, cozy, and makes a true statement piece for sofas, beds, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

The Spirals Throw is also wonderfully forgiving. Gauge is not critical, and the pattern allows for slight variations while still producing a polished result. With thoughtful finishing and layered edging, the completed afghan has a professional, heirloom-quality look that’s sure to impress.

Instructions

Two-Color Spiral (Make 98)

Using the larger hook and Color A, wrap yarn around your finger to form a ring.

Continue with A, ch 1, work [sc, hdc, 2 dc] in ring. Remove hook and place last stitch on a holder.
Join Color B with a slip stitch in the ring; repeat * to * using B.
You will have 4 stitches in each color, beginning in the ring.

Round 2:
Continue with B, working into stitches of the A section:
Work [2 dc in sc, 2 dc in hdc, and 2 dc in each dc] — 8 stitches worked into the previous color section.
Remove hook, place stitch on holder.
Return to A stitch on holder and repeat into B section.

Round 3:
Continue with A, working into the 8 dc of the B section:
Work 2 dc in each stitch — 16 stitches.
Remove hook, place stitch on holder.
Return to B stitch and repeat.

Round 4:
Continue with B, working into dc of A section:
Work 2 dc in each of next 3 dc. Fasten off B.
Return to A stitch, repeat into B section, and fasten off A.

Note:
Spirals are worked individually, sewn into panels, edged, then joined together. Final edging is added after assembly.

Afghan Assembly

• Crochet 98 two-color spirals.

• Sew spirals into 7 panels of 14 spirals each, matching colors.

Panel Edging

Because of the scalloped edges, stitch counts may vary slightly—use your judgment to keep spacing even.

With RS facing and larger hook, join Color B in a corner of an end spiral.

Panel Edging – Round 1

Work corners, scallops, and long sides following the established spiral spacing:

• Each spiral scallop includes (dc, [ch-2, sc] 3 times, ch 2, dc)

• Ends are squared off using (dc, ch 3, dc)

Join with a slip stitch and continue smoothly around the panel.

Panel Edging – Round 2

• In each corner space: [3 sc, place marker, 3 sc]

• Work 3 sc in each chain space to next corner

• Join with slip stitch and fasten off B

Side Edging (Panels)

With RS facing and larger hook, join Color A at a corner marker.

Row 1:
Ch 1, sc in same space, sc, ch 1, skip 1 across, ending in marked space.

Row 2:
Ch 2 (counts as dc), dc, ch 1 in each ch-1 space across.

Row 3:
Ch 1, sc in ch-space, ch 1 across. Fasten off.
