This is a written pattern for a windspinner ornament that has the shape of an hourglass.

The level is intermediate.

For this windspinner I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes colourcrafter) which is about 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram.
I used hooksize 3.5.
I needed about 45 meters/48 yards of this yarn, in 2 different colors.
My windspinner was about 9 cm/3.5 inches high and 7 cm/2.75 inches diameter.
You can use other yarn if you like. The spinner can be bigger or smaller in that case.

Other materials you need:
-Beads, for decoration and for the extra weight
-A thread for hanging the windspinner. You can use nylon thread or a single string of the yarn you used for the windspinner itself.

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

• mc = magic circle
• ch = chainstitch
• sc = single crochet
• slst = slipstitch
