This looks like a two-color crochet spiral pouch / coaster / scrubby made in the round with textured stitches (mainly double crochet & front-post/back-post style texture). I’ll explain a simple way to make the same look, step by step.
🧶 MATERIALS (IMPORTANT)
- Yarn: 2 colors (White + Red)
- Medium / Worsted (4)
- Hook: 4.5 mm – 5 mm
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
🧵 STITCHES YOU MUST KNOW
- ch – chain
- sl st – slip stitch
- dc – double crochet
- fpdc – front post double crochet
🔹 How to make FPdc (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Yarn over
- Insert hook around the post of the stitch from front
- Yarn over, pull up loop
- Yarn over, pull through 2 loops
- Yarn over, pull through 2 loops
👉 This makes the raised texture like in the photo.
🌀 STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN
🔴 ROUND 1 – CENTER
- Make a magic ring
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc)
- Make 11 dc inside the ring
- Pull ring tight
- Sl st to top of ch-3
👉 12 dc total
🔴 ROUND 2 – INCREASE
- Ch 3
- 2 dc in every stitch around
- Sl st to join
👉 24 dc
✔ Flat circle now
⚪ ROUND 3 – START TEXTURE (WHITE)
- Ch 3
- FPdc around next stitch
- 1 dc in next stitch
- Repeat:
👉 (FPdc, dc) around - Sl st to join
✔ You will see raised stitches starting
⚪ ROUND 4 – LOCK THE TEXTURE
- Ch 3
- Dc on top of dc
- FPdc on top of FPdc
- Repeat around
- Sl st to join
- Change color to RED
🔴 ROUND 5 – RED TEXTURE
- Ch 3
- (FPdc, dc) around
- Sl st
🔴 ROUND 6 – RED CONTINUE
- Ch 3
- (dc on dc, FPdc on FPdc) around
- Sl st
- Change color to WHITE
⚪ ROUND 7 & 8 – WHITE
Repeat Rounds 5 & 6 in white
🔁 KEEP GOING
Repeat color changes every 2 rounds:
- 2 rounds white
- 2 rounds red
👉 The work will naturally curl upward and form the spiral bowl shape like the image.
🎯 STOP WHEN:
- Height = 6–8 cm (scrubby)
- Height = 10–12 cm (pouch)
Fasten off and weave ends.
💡 IMPORTANT TIPS
✔ Pull FPdc stitches tight
✔ Do NOT increase after Round 2
✔ Use cotton yarn for scrubby
✔ Use acrylic yarn for decoration
