Use white and red yarn to work two spirals:

Make 50 chains. Work 2 SC in the 2nd chain from hook and in the next chains.

If you want a longer spiral you can add other chains reaching your prefered lenght.

The Single crochet number’s can change in 2 or 3 in each chains. If you use 3 SC in each chains the spiral will be turned on itself more then with 2 SC.

Leave a long tail before cutting the yarn when you finish the two spiral.

Fix the top part of the two spiral and twist them together, to create the stripe effects.

Fix the final part to fasten off.

Recreate the curvature on the top using one of the two threads (white or red) and starting from the tip, go through the middle of the spiral until you reach the point where you want the curvature to occur.

Make a knot inside the spiral by pulling slightly, in order to block the fold of the tip.

Pass through the middle of the spiral to reach the bottom of it and cut the yarn.
