Twirls have become one of my favourite items to add to my twiddle creations. The Project Twiddles twirl is our project’s icon.
When I was making these twirls I asked my granddaughter what to call ‘it’. I liked her suggestion, twirls. So twirls they are! I often attach them by using our iconic buttons to other twiddle items as they are a good item for patients to play with.
Crochet people know them as curlicues. You can find lots of patterns on the internet. Here I am sharing how I make mine. After making many, I have found that the smaller the crochet hook the better the twirl. So have a go!
