Instructions:

1. Create the Center Ring
   • Make a magic loop.
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 4 single crochet (sc) into the magic loop.
   • Place a stitch marker at the top of the first single crochet.
   • Next, work 4 half-double crochet (hdc) into the magic loop.
   • Then, work 4 double crochet (dc) into the magic loop.
   • Pull the magic loop tightly.
2. Working in Back Loops Only
   • Working in the back loops only, remove the marker.
   • Work a double crochet (dc) into the back loop where you removed the marker.
   • Immediately work another double crochet in the same stitch to create an increase.
   • Continue working 2 double crochet in each stitch until you reach the marker.
3. Continuing in Back Loops
   • While still working in the back loops only, remove the marker.
   • Work a double crochet (dc) into the back loop where you removed the marker.
   • Again, immediately work another double crochet in the same stitch.
   • Then, work 1 double crochet in the next stitch.
   • Repeat the pattern: [2 double crochet in the next stitch, 1 double crochet] three times.
   • Next, repeat: [2 half-double crochet in the next stitch, 1 half-double crochet] four times.
   • Finally, repeat: [2 single crochet in the next stitch, 1 single crochet] four times.
   • Remove the marker.
4. Working in Both Loops
   • From this point forward, work in both loops of the stitches.
   • In the next stitch, work (single crochet, chain 1 [counts as half-double crochet], chain 2, double crochet).
   • Now, work 1 half-double crochet, 4 single crochet, and (1 half-double crochet, chain 2, 1 half-double crochet) in the same stitch.
   • Repeat the pattern: 1 half-double crochet, 4 single crochet, (1 half-double crochet, chain 2, 1 half-double crochet) five times.
   • Finish with 1 half-double crochet, 4 single crochet, and slip stitch into the top of the first half-double crochet.
   • Fasten off and pull up the magic loop.
5. Finishing the Center
   • Using a different colored yarn, insert your hook under the outer unworked front loop of the spiral.
   • Attach the yarn and chain 1.
   • Work a single crochet in each loop, working toward the center.
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and thread it through a darning needle.
   • Sew the needle through the center hole to the back of the work and fasten off.
   • Repeat the same process at the back of the work with the other end.
6. Joining Hexagons
   • When joining hexagons together, make sure to turn each hexagon differently so that the spirals are oriented in various directions. This adds a unique and visually striking effect to your project.

These spiral hexagons can be used in a variety of projects, from blankets to home decor. Have fun experimenting with different colors and arrangements, and let your creativity shine!
