With this crochet pattern, you can create a decorative fan shell that will become a real eye catcher on your balcony, in your garden, or in your home. The shell is made from a strut to which several crocheted strips are attached in an oval shell shaped and decorated with beads. When the wind blows, it can even spin, creating the look of a beautiful decorative wind spinner. This pattern is perfect for using up your leftovers, as you can use yarn in any weight. I will show you step by step how to easily adjust the size to suit your yarn and your preferences. All the materials you need, as well as the complete instructions, are of course included.
