As making the wind spinner will use up any yarn ends you have lying around making them a great yarn stash-buster project.

I have found with this pattern 66 chains to start makes a perfect wind spinner.

Please note before starting to crochet the wind spinner read these Tips to ensure your windspinner turns out! 

Tips for your wind spinners

• as the spiral grows and curls You may find it begins to twist out of shape simply twist the spiral all in the same direction
• You will work in ROWS until the last stitch where you will finish. Breaking yarn and leaving a LONG TAIL.

• Fasten off the last stitch by working as normal but by pulling your yarn through the last stitch completely.

• START EVERY ROW at the SAME SIDE.

• Working EVERY ROW and working in the SAME direction

Since I made the first few I have added some changes and tried several different ways to make the spinners 

1. I have Flipped the Spinner upside down (This makes Zero change to the spin-ability just changes the color pattern)

2. Placed the Crochet bee there at the TOP of the Spinner

3. Added several strands as a tassel to the bottom

4: If you can acquire the spinning fishing swivels BUY HERE then these WILL absolutely make your wind spinner spin better 

IF you can not get hold of these THEN : Only Use 1 piece of  very thin Yarn attached to the TOP to use to hang it (definitely makes it spin better)

PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
IF the wind spinner is waving side to side it is TOO windy! for the spinner!

That is why I originally put the Bee at the bottom to add some weight as living here in the Highlands of Scotland IS windy!

THE BASIC WIND SPINNER WRITTEN PATTERN FREE

Written in US terms but I have added in the UK TERMS which are in ( ) to make this as simple as possible for everyone to make

Chain 66 (65 +1) ( or any chain length you desire. The Longer the chain the heavier the spinner will become making it more difficult to spin freely in the wind)

ROW 1: single crochet (Double Crochet - UK ) in each stitch along. Fasten off leaving a long tail
(Starting Back at the same place as ROW 1 started)

ROW 2: 2dc ( 2TRC - UK) in each stitch. Fasten off leaving a long tail
(Starting at the same side as ROW 2 started)

ROW 3: 3dc (3 TRC - UK ) in each stitch. Fasten off. Leaving a long tail
(Starting at the same side as ROW 2 started)

Row 4: Sc (dc) in EACH stitch along the spiral.

Fasten off. Leaving a long tail

Knot all the tails at the bottom and leave them loose to hang in the wind.

I used a length of BLACK yarn to create a loop at the top of the spinner, to be able to attach it to a branch or hook.
You have now completed the Crochet Windspinner
