   On your directions …
   On your directions it says multiple of 4 but then u say chain 31. Is it a multiple of 4 + something?

   Hi hg1bbs. The 31 …
   Hi hg1bbs. The 31 is just the length I chose to make this corkscrew, you can make it as long or short as you like, the key is to make the chain approximately twice the length you want the finished corkscrew to be. 4 is the number of double crochets (US = single crochets) you do into each stitch. Hope this helps, I would watch the video a couple of times, and pause it as you go. Cheers!

    Hi there calijenny, …
    Hi there calijenny, it is possible that your starting chain is too loose. Make sure that the yarn and hook size you are using match well for a more even tension. there are 4 double crochets (US – 4 single crochets) in the TOP of each stitch. As you do the stitches, make sure you “twist” your work into the spiral, this is important, as it won’t always happen by itself. Watch the video a few times, this helped someone else who was also having trouble, good luck! and happy crocheting!

    would this work with crochet thread? or would that be too thin to form the spiral

16. by SHOPETSY, on October 24 2009 @ 8:56 pm

    

    I think the US …
    I think the US equivalent of 8ply is medium weight. UK equivalent is DK (double Knit) approx.

    It would be worth trying, though as you would have to use a much smaller needle size, they may turn out so fine, you lose the effect. I’d be interested to see the result though!

    Great video; instructions given very clearly. Could you give advice concerning sewing spirals onto knitted or crocheted items? I’d like to try making some tiny ones for trim on booties for needy newborns; what’s best way to sew them on? Thanks from Becky Jo

    Hi Becky! Thanks …
    Hi Becky! Thanks for your feedback. I would be inclined to crochet them directly from the bootie, as part of the construction. That way they can’t detach. If knitted, get a crochet hook, and crochet a row around the bootie, either top cuff or bottom edge. Then, using this as a base for the corkscrews, chain off the desired length, and work corkscrew back down chain. This will bring you back to the edge, then make one or a few single crochet, then repeat corkscrew. Hope this helps Happy crafting!

    Yes it is possible. You should go check tjw1963 under candy cane (or something like that), there’s a tutorial on how to do it.
    It works out really well. I made a few for my xmas tree and she also has a tutorial for xmas wreaths. Hope it’ll be of help to you.
