Materials Needed
DK or 4ply yarn (acrylic or cotton) in black, green, and orange.

A pair of scissors

Skill Level

Measurements/Size
This wind spinner measures 22.5 inches (57 cm) in length.
Yardage
Approx. 92 yards (84 m) in total (all colors).

Gauge
Gauge = 16 dc and 6 rows with a 4 mm crochet hook = 4” (10 cm).
Gauge is not really that crucial for this project. Just try experimenting with different hook sizes & different weight yarns to get a gauge you are happy with for the project you are working on.
If your wind spinner looks narrower than you anticipated, try a thicker weight yarn or add another row or two to make it wider.
If you want your wind spinner to be longer, just increase the number of stitches in your beginning chain.

Notes
You can use any type of medium weight yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations)
You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook size. Have a look at this wind spinner made with acrylic yarn (Aran)
Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row.
