Easy Crochet Windspinner

"FREE Crochet Wind Spinner Pattern + Printable Gift Tags Crochet wind spinners have taken the internet by storm lately, and for good reason! I wrote up this free crochet wind spinner pattern so you can try out this lovely project yourself. Interesting Note: Did you know that the technique used to crochet curly surfaces is called hyperbolic crochet? When I discovered this was actually a mathematical term for “negative curvature”, I was really intrigued! What You’ll Learn How to crochet a 3-D continuous spiral using (ch) chain, (sc) single crochet and (dc) double crochet stitches using a variety of different colours. Materials Needed: Some classic worsted weight yarn (4 colors of your choice). Any yarn would do really, just make sure it’s not hairy or fuzzy and that they are all similar weight yarns. I used Paintbox Yarns for this crochet wind spinner (5 Ball Colour Pack Designer Picks - Summer Garden by Kate Eastwood) - Lime Green (328), Raspberry Pink (343), Ballet Pink (352), Blush Pink (353) Crochet hook that fits your yarn. Generally I use between a size - G/4mm to H/5mm hook. For this project I used a 4.5 mm hook. A tapestry needle A pair of scissors Beads or any embellishment you’d like to add to your wind spinner. Abbreviations: ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet st = stitch sts = stitches Skill Level: Beginner Gauge: 16 stitches and 8 rows = 4” (10) cm in double crochet (US) 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 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. Numbers at the end of each row in brackets indicate the number of final stitches in that row. Please note that I use US crochet terms. You may sell any finished products that you make from this pattern. However, when selling online, please include a link back to my blog or tag me on social with handle @startcrochet"
