Please note before starting to crochet the wind spinner
NOTE: 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 work in the SAME direction
Since I made the first few I have added some changes
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: Only Used 1 piece of 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!
