How To Work In Spiral Crochet Rounds?

Working in spiral crochet rounds involves continuous rounds without joining at the end of each round. To begin, create a magic circle or a chain and join it to form a loop. Start by crocheting the required number of stitches into the initial loop.

Instead of joining the round with a slip stitch, proceed directly into the next stitch of the following round. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round to keep track of your starting point. As you continue, move the stitch marker up each round to maintain your place. Here is a detailed guide on how to crochet in spiral rounds.
