This is a pattern for a wind spinner ornament. It’s a written pattern with a few pictures added for extra explanation.
I used two colors in this tutorial, but you can ofcourse make this in more or less colors.
You can also make it longer or shorter, if you wish, each segment is the same.
Be creative!

For this windspinner I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes Colourcrafter) which is about 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram, and hooksize 3.5 .
I needed about 50 meters/55 yards of yarn, in 2 different colors.
With this yarn, my spinner was about 6 cm/2.4 inches wide and 14 cm/5.5 inches long.
You can use other yarn if you like. The spinner can be bigger or smaller in that case.

Stitches and (US-terms) used:

  • mc = magic circle
  • ch = chainstitch
  • slst = slipstitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • incr = increase = make 2 stitches in 1 stitch
  • decr = decrease = make 1 stitch in 2 stitches
  • flo = frontloop only

Other materials you need:
-Beads or another small item, as a weight under and/or inside the windspinner
-A thread for hanging the windspinner. You can use nylon thread, or a single string of the yarn you used for the windspinner itself.

Have fun making this windspinner!
