Notes
This pattern is written in US terminology.
This pattern is worked top -bottom.
When you crochet spiral rounds, you start with an adjustable ring (know as “magic ring”) and you will go on work in a continuos spiral. This means, you continue to crochet directly into the first stitch of the previous round to star the next round. 
You should mark the first stitch of the round to keep track of where the round begins.
Changes in color should be made in the final YO of the previous stitch.
