This is a (mainly) written pattern for a windspinner. Several pictures are added, showing the progress of the crocheting.

For this windspinner I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes colourcrafter) which is 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram.
I used hooksize 3.5 .
I needed about 105 meters/115 yards of yarn, in 4 different colors.
My spinner was about 45 cm/17.75 inches long.

You can use other yarn if you like. The spinner can be bigger or smaller in that case.

The level is advanced beginner to intermediate.

(US-)Terms and stitches used in this pattern:

  • foundation chain, a chain of chainstitches is also an option
  • ch = chainstitch
  • slst = slipstitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • trc = treble crochet (the trc stitches are made in loops below the last row)
  • incr = increase = make 2 stitches in 1 stitch
  • picot = ch 2 and slst 1 in the second ch from the hook
  • flo = frontloop only

Other materials you need:
-A small weight for hanging under the windspinner.
-A thread for hanging the windspinner. You can use nylon thread, but you can also use a single string of the yarn you used for the windspinner itself.
