Crochet Spikes Pattern

I have posted this Crochet Spikes Pattern as an add-on to my Crochet Dinosaur Puzzle, but you can use it for anything you fancy, really. If you want bigger spikes, just keep going with the pattern until you have a big enough spike.

Instructions

Start with a long tai of yarnl as you will use this to sew the sides of the spike together and to attach the finished spike to your project of choice.

2. Make 2 sc’s in the second chain from the hook. Ch 1 and turn. (2)

3. Sc inc in both stitches. Ch 1 and turn. (4)

4. *Sc in in the next st, sc in the next st* x 2. Ch 1 and turn. (6)

5. *Sc in in the next st, sc in the next 2 st’s* x 2. Ch 1 and turn. (8)

Please note: if you want larger spikes for another project – and you can go as large as you want!! – just keep adding one extra sc between increases for every row you add. The next row, for example, will have 5 sc’s after the increase and the one after that will have 6.

Follow the above pattern until you get to the end of Row 6. Bind off and sew the spike as directed below.

Little Crochet Spike

Attaching the Spikes to Your Project

Spikes?? Spikes??? They look more like wedges to me…

Yes they do. But not for long. Fold the wedges in half and use the initial tail of yarn to sew the open side together using a whip stitch. You should now have a double-layer spike. Stuff the tail from the bind-off up into the spike and attach the spike to your project as desired, using the initial tail of yarn that you used to sew the sides together with.
