| Crochet BEE windspinner |
I had crocheted a little bee and made the spinner in the same colours, since the Bee wind spinners creation.
I have been asked to add several more ideas and crochet patterns for creating the crochet wind spinners in several themes.
And now The Free Crochet Pattern for the Christmas Santa Windspinner.
This is a fabulous yarn stash-busting project I actually used a little half ball of 100g of yarn and a little pink and white to finish.
I have used a 3.5omm hook (I DO crochet extremely loosely )
I used a Double Knit weight yarn - See Special Deals on Yarn here at the Knitting Network
The Windspinner Crochet pattern for THIS wind spinner is made a little bit differently from the original pattern.
It is made with MORE increases in the rounds than the original.
Which gives you a tighter Spiral.
If you prefer a looses spiral make 2Dc in each stitch rather than 3Dc
This is because the wind in winter is WAY stronger (well I say that I live in the North of Scotland)
I found I needed a much tighter Windspinner to be able to withstand the wind and not sway and much.
Please NOTE:
You will always start at the SAME END of the Windspinner this will become the TOP.
AND you may find as you work your spiral has gone a little wiggly,
Like This
Do not worry.
Once finished Start at the TOP and slowly curl and straighten as you go and
wind the spiral into shape.
TO Start the Windspinner.

Row 3:
chain2, work 3 Double Crochet in EACH stitch until you reach the end.
FASTEN OFF.
I like to wind the wind spinner using a knitting needle to hold it in place. This also allows me to paint dome glitter around the edges easily.
(Just do not let it dry like this remove from the knitting needle immediately and hang to dry!)
The Diamond Shaped SANTA Decoration pattern for the Bottom of your wind spinner.
I made the Santa decoration 2D so you could also just make the Santa decoration
to hang from your tree branches.
You will increase in the SECOND stitch of each row this makes the diamond shape
less gappy at the edges when you go to join.
