Freeform Crochet Spiral Scrumble. For Thanksgiving last year I posted a photo of a scrumble I had been working on.

Freeform Crochet Spiral Scrumble

Having thoughts of gratitude, harvest, and other related things, I realized my scrumble looked like a funky turkey head! The scrumble is made using my two color spiral pattern, a “wing” pattern, and ridges made with reverse single crochet, a.k.a. Crab Stitch. The wing pattern can also be considered a leaf pattern. Use any suitable yarn and a crochet hook that fits. This is freeform crochet. Abbreviations (US terminology) Step 1 Start with the two color spiral. Step 2 The Wing Continue with the lower (inner) color (orange). Continue working in the back loops of the white spiral. Wing: SC, HDC, DC, 2 DC, DC, 2 TR, TR, in the next 7 sts. Step 3 Attach yarn of a third color (green) to the first chain of ch2.

Step 4 With the first color (white), make a wing, starting in the backloop of the first green st. Step 5 The Ridges The ridges can be made to spiral in different ways. I started with the orange. All done! Enjoy! Tutorial for crochet roses. One of the first things I crocheted was roses.
