— Materials & Gauge :
Info :
Gauge is not critical for ornaments but for consistent size aim for 18 sc x 20 rows = 10cm using 3.5mm hook and worsted yarn. Use tight tension for amigurumi so stuffing doesn't show.
— General Notes :
Info :
Work in continuous rounds unless noted otherwise. Use stitch marker to mark first stitch of each round. When changing colors, finish the last stitch of the previous color with the new color to avoid a visible join. Embroider small details after assembly for best placement.

Round 1 :
6 sc in magic ring (6)

(3 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (30)
Round 6 :

Info :
You now have a tube circumference of 48 stitches. Work an extended length with even rounds to create the long spiral. If you want a thicker spiral, you can increase up to 60 sts using (7 sc, 1 inc) x 6 to reach 54 then (8 sc,1 inc) x6 to 60.
Round 9-36 :
1 sc in each st (48) — 28 rounds even to create length (48)
Info :
If adding integrated lights, weave the LED micro-string down the center of the tube before closing the final rounds. Stuff tube lightly with polyester fill so it keeps a spiral shape but remains flexible.

(6 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (42)
Round 38 :

— Assembly & Hanging Loops :
Info :
All ornaments will be attached to the spiral with short lengths of yarn or thin cord. Make hanging loops by chaining 12-20 stitches (depending on how far you want ornaments to dangle) and securing both ends to the top of the ornament. Space ornaments evenly along the spiral ensuring weight balance.
Info :
Arrange heavier pieces lower (gift, bell) and lighter at top (star, snowflake). When sewing onto the spiral, sew through the spiral tube into the core yarn to prevent slipping.
Info :
Use a tally: hang star at top center, then in descending order with roughly equal vertical spacing: snowflake, stocking, holly cluster, gingerbread, house, round bauble, wreath, mini tree, Santa, gift, candy cane and bell as bottom weight. Adjust spacing visually so the spiral hangs freely without ornaments colliding.
Final Touches :
Weave in all loose ends and use tiny stitches to secure heavy ornaments additionally with a few extra passes. If using LED lights, tuck battery pack at top behind star or in a loop above the spiral so it is hidden. Test hanging balance on a hook before finalizing.
