Materials

Begin with the center of the spiral:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 6 double crochet (dc) into the ring.
- Pull the ring tight to close.
Increase rounds to form the spiral:
- Round 1: 2 dc in each stitch around (12 dc).
- Round 2: 1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch around (18 dc).
- Continue increasing in this manner, adding one more dc between increases each round, until the desired size is reached.
Begin color changes for the swirly effect:
- At the start of each new round, join a new color with a slip stitch.
- Continue working in the established stitch pattern, carrying the unused yarn along the edge to minimize ends.
Shape the pillow:
- Once the desired size is achieved, begin decreasing to close the spiral.
- Round 1: 1 dc in next stitch, dc2tog around.
- Round 2: dc2tog around.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
- Stuff the pillow with polyester fiberfill to your desired firmness.
- Use the yarn needle to close the opening securely.
Finishing touches:
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Block the pillow if necessary to shape.
- Display your Swirly Candy Pillow as a cheerful accent in your home or gift it to someone special.
