This is a written pattern for a windspinner that has the shape of an egg when laying flat. It gives a nice extra visual effect while spinning in the wind.

The level is advanced beginner. This pattern is just a bit more intricate than most windspinner patterns.

The (US-)terms used in this pattern are:

  • foundation chain (a chain of chainstitches can be used instead)
  • ch = chain
  • yoslst = yarnover slipstitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • incr = increase

For this windspinner 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 75 meters/82 yards of yarn, in 8 different colors.
My spinner was about 45 cm/17.7 inches long and almost 12 cm/4.7 inches by 10 cm/4 inches when laying flat.
You can use other yarn if you like. The spinner can be bigger or smaller in that case.

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.

! Note that the item hanging under the windspinner shown is not part of this pattern.

Have fun with this windspinner!
