This is a written pattern for a windspinner.

The level is beginner if you make this as a non-doubled windspinner, the doubling is the only little bit tricky part if you know all of the stitches mentioned.

I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes colourcrafter), which is 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram, and hooksize 3.5 .
I needed about 28 meters/31 yards of yarn, I used 3 different colors.
My spinner was about 16 cm/6.5 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 in this pattern:

• foundation chain (can be replaced by a chain of chainstitches)
• sc = single crochet
• slst = slipstitch
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• trc = treble crochet
• yoslst = yarnover slipstitch (can be replaced by a sc)
• incr = increase = make 2 stitches in 1 stitch

Other materials you need:
-A small weight for hanging under the windspinner. This can be a small crochet item or some beads, for example.
-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.

! Note that the items hanging under the shown windspinners are not part of this pattern.
