The Spiral File by Hannah Bovender

The Spiral File

This pattern is available from ofmars.etsy.com for $13.00.

This pattern has been a long time coming. I’ve been writing down bits and pieces to include in it for months and here it is!!

I’m really excited about this one guys.. This pattern is seriously the bomb. I wish I had had it when I had first started freeforming (would’ve made things sooo much easier)! This pattern really is a tell-all of all of the unique spirals I make, some of which I’ve never seen anyone else do before.

While some of this pattern gives exact written instructions on making spirals, the majority of it is meant to act as instructions and guidelines on how to make your own unique spirals. It is 20 pages long and is full of photos, helpful information, and examples of pieces made using this tutorial.

Exact patterns are given to make: one-color spirals, nautiluses, two-color spirals, and three-color nautiluses. There is one chart included on how to make the one-color spiral. The rest of the sections include looser instructions and guidelines for creating the pieces.

Sections are included on:
----- Beginning spirals
----- Ending spirals
----- One-color spirals
----- Two-color spirals
----- Nautiluses
----- Three-color nautiluses
----- Many colored and macro spirals
----- Surface embroidery and embellishments (several different types included)
----- Bullion spirals
----- Puff spirals
----- Bubble spirals
----- Trailing spirals (2 methods)
----- Amoeba spirals
----- Combining elements

Each of the spirals photographed can be made using this tutorial.

These spirals can be combined together to form freeform crochet clothing and accessories, be appliqued on another finished garment, or work as finished objects themselves -- use your imagination!
