Crochet a spiral:

Start with a magic ring:

Round 1: Ch 3, 8 DC into magic ring.  (8 sts)

Do not join as we are going to work in a spiral, but every round place a stitch marker in your 1^st stitch.

Round 2: 2 BPDC in each DC of previous round (16 sts) Do not slip stitch and continue.

Round 3: BPDC in 1^st BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round, * BPDC in next BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round – repeat from * around (24 sts). Do not slip stitch and continue.

Round 4: BPDC in 1^st BPDC of previous round, BPDC in next BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round, * BPDC in next 2 BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round – repeat from * around (32 sts).

Round 5: BPDC in 1^st BPDC of previous round, BPDC in next 2 BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round, * BPDC in next 3 BPDC of previous round, 2 BPDC in next BPDC of previous round – repeat from * around (40 sts). Make the last BPDC around the post of BPDC in Round 3.  Join with sl st in 1^st st. This will help us turn the spiral into a circle.
