Check out the "Double-Ended Crochet Hook Spiral Method - Part 1" video from StitchDiva...I think its just what you might be looking for. :)

this is a slightly different method than i was taught growing up, but i was only taught to make square or rectangular shapes with my cro hooking, its really too bad i am one of the only people i know who knows how to do this art :(

When I was on Ravelry the other day, someone asked if having a double ended crochet hook was a sillty idea....I think she was a knitter. I set her straight. ;D

I am just learning to do this crokniting and I seem to get confused as to when to turn the needle and move to the other end. Is there a simple method to remembering this? Especially when I've put it down and go back to it later.

[Sandra Roarty]

Actually, you turn for every row, BUT you move the yarn down after you finish using a color. I made 2 rows of each color, so I move the yarn down after I finish the second row of the working color. When I do that, the other color will be waiting for me to pick up at the other end of the hook. Hope that helps!

Very interesting. I noticed in the beginning, that you seemed to slip into your native language, cool!

I am so glad to find your video!!! I was with my husband in Louisiana at a flea market over a year ago and I saw a lady doing this. I looked everywhere to find information on how to do this and kept running into dead ends. This is awesome. THANK YOU SO MUCH
