Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Start a new project by making a slip knot in your yarn. Put the crochet hook into the slip knot to begin to work a series of chain stitches. Measure the crochet chain for the correct diameter of the spiral.
Step2
Join the chain and form a ring by inserting the hook through both loops of the first stitch in the chain and making a slip stitch.
Step3
Insert your hook through the two top loops of the first stitch in the chain and work one single crochet stitch. Work one single crochet in each stitch of the rest of the chain.
Step4
Continue working one single crochet in each stitch of the previous round until your tube is the desired length. If you are ending your project with the tube spiral, finish off with a slip knot.
Step5
Cut your yarn 2 to 3 inches from the slip knot and use a yarn needle to weave the trailing end into the tube.
