CROCHET INFO:
Replace first sc at beg of every sc row with 1 ch. Finish round with 1 sl st in first ch at beg of round.

INCREASE TIP: Inc by working 2 sc in 1 sc. NOTE: Inc alternately before and after markers.

SPIRAL PATTERN:
* 1 sc in back loop of each of the next 7 sts, 1 dc in front loop of st from 2 rows below next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round. Pattern is over 8 sts and no of sts are divisible by 8 + 1. Work in the round without finishing the round, this way the pattern will automatically displace 1 st on every round and form a spiral pattern.
