This is a pattern for a windspinner in the shape of a funny guy.
It’s a written pattern with several pictures to help explain some details.

The level is advanced. The pattern involves quite a lot of sewing, experience with amigurumi is advised.

I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes colourcrafter, which is about 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram) and hooksize 3.0 and 3.5, for some parts 4.5 and 2.0.
My windspinner was about 21 cm/8.25 inches high and 8 cm/3.15 inches wide.

Materials you need:
- yarn: about 82 yards of green yarn in one or two shades,
a bit of white, black and very dark green yarn

• stuffing
• a cotton swab or a short piece of wire, to strengthen the neck
• a thread for hanging the windspinner. You can use nylon thread, or a single string of the yarn you used for the windspinner itself.
• optional: beads
• optional: a brush to give some parts a more hairy appearance.

Stitches and (US-)terms used in this pattern:

• mc = magic circle
• foundation chain
• ch = chainstitch
• sc = single crochet
• slst = slipstitch
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• trc = treble crochet
• yoslst = yarnover slipstitch
• incr = increase
• decr = decrease
• flo = frontloop only
• blo = backloop only

—This pattern is also tested with Drops alpaca and hooksizes 2.5 and 3.0. The final result with that yarn was 16 cm/6.3 inches high and about 7.5 cm/3 inches wide.
In addition, you will need some thinner yarn for the hands.

I hope you like my windspinners!
