I love these spinners. Made three for my front porch. Made one for a spin mobile for a new babies crib, now I am making two for some gifts. They are so relaxing that I don’t know when I will stop. I am 83 years old and these so relaxing. They keep my blood pressure down.
How do they hold up to weather? Rain and such
crocheting does that for me too! I've read somewhere that designers will put 3 of their design or planters or tiles together for ascetics . NOW i get to go male 2 more for my patio! Thanks
@@maryannwinchester5038I’d recommend bringing in when raining or snowing outside in the summer time mainly
I am 80 and I just found this site while looking for leftover yard ideas and found her. That episode was the most informative and fun episode of any I have run across. Quickly Subscribed and I don’t after do that
I want to thank you. This was terrible easy to follow. Was in accident and lost part of my memory but following you I've relearned to crochet.😊🎈
Thank you once again. Texas
Oh Gina, your words have warmed my heart, I love to hear stories like this, it makes everything worthwhile, thank you Anja x
My granddaughter is 10 years old. 2 days ago one of her friends passed away. Everyone is so sad. But what we're doing in her memory is hanging beautiful pink items on our trees in front porches. I've been crocheting little pink hearts and stars and pink bows all day. I just came across this lovely tutorial! Perfect. I just finished the most beautiful pink wind spinner. So tomorrow my granddaughter and I will be hanging these in her front yard and memory of her beautiful friend Regan❤
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your granddaughter’s friend, so sad. What a wonderful thing for everyone to do and I’m touched that one of my projects will be a part of this wonderful tribute, hugs to everyone affected by this angels passing, Anja x
I just found this pattern and I grabbed a bunch of random scrap yarn and it's all different shades of pink! I just saw your comment after starting. I will think of your grand daughters friend as I make it 🩷
Hola muchas gracias por el tutorial es precioso .soy Española ,ahora me pondré unos cuantos molinillos en mi balcón, gracias ,Salud para seguir haciendo tan lindas cosas ) no se inglés pero lo entendí perfectamente ,saludos
A project without a tassel is like a day without sunshine :)
I made this 😊 and it is quick, easy and very beautiful and I will be making a whole bunch more using my scrap yarn for Christmas gifts this year. Last year I made 100 of your crochet tissue boxes (best pattern on RUclips) ordered plastic cellophane bags with ribbon, wrapped each one individually and donated them to our local hospital cancer wing for new patients starting chemotherapy. I purchased all the tissue boxes at the Dollar Tree. The patients sit in a large room together, were so Happy and really enjoyed the gifts !!! 💖💖💖 Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us. Lots of Love from California !
I have more ideas coming up on Friday and Saturday this week!
I wish I could add a picture!!! I've made two!!! Starting back up after shoulder surgery. I'm SO happy to be able to crochet again!!!
Great news, take it steady though, Anja x
@Ophelia Talks most definitely. Shoulder won't let me do much lol.
Thank you Anya, I live in a caravan so this will be a lightweight decoration. A very simple gift for anyone.
All the people that had phone cords growing up will have no problem curling it at the end lol. I love this project so much! Thank you
Haha 😆 that’s also what I was thinking about while watching!! How many of you had one of those Super Long phone cords to walk around the house?
(klm
Ty for Sharing 😁
@@conniestone6251 thanks for reminding me of the great memories of stretching that cord from dining rm, to my bedroom for privacy to talk to my bf,
40+ yrs ago.
@@francesmartinez1576 Haha 😆 yes, oh all of the secrets those cords held!
Fun memories for me, as well. 💕
I think I will make this with the very last row with beads and a sun catcher stone at the bottom 😍
I have to make a sunflower one tooooo!! 😭
Lovely idea Lina, sure it will be beautiful, Anja x
Hi Ophelia, the post I left on Facebook about your spinner is going crazy! Over 90 likes and so many more people posting photos of there spinners! It is such a cool design! Thank you.
How much fun these will be to make and use up scrap yarn!
Thank you so very much Anja xx I made one with 100 chains for my friends. I snuck down to her house last night & hung it on her arbour for a wonderful morning surprise :) I used confetti yarn (off-white with brightly colored bits in it) along with a rainbow color-changing yarn. So bright & cheerful! Now to make mine but not as long, lol!
Whoa! Can you show me that yarn or do you have links to it?
@@gerlinderosensteiner8250 of course :) The rainbow confetti yarn is Bernat Premium Tweeds in the colorway 'Rainbow - www.walmart.ca/en/ip/bernat-premium-tweeds-yarn-198g7oz-rainbow-tweed/6000202652010?skuId=6000199841654&cmpid=SEM_CA_79_7X4FYVDXJZ_71700000053641836_58700005127848074&SEM_CA_79_7X4FYVDXJZ_71700000053641836_58700005127848074&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjwgviIBhBkEiwA10D2j_lAJw04ssoTQn5hcaY_RqSRoXzElJ5kHzei0UYje07ISyx6GEmPphoCL2wQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
The Rainbow color changing yarn is Redd Heart Super Saver Color Block in the colorway 'Rainbow'. I strangely couldn't find it, but here is one similar, mine is much brighter tho - www.walmart.com/ip/Red-Heart-Super-Saver-Color-Block-Yarn-Party-Time-10oz-283g-Acrylic/763472647
I hope that I helped you out :) Have a wonderful safe day!
Me too! I just kept chaining!! I’m sure it’s a least 6’ long. It will work outside for. Hope the cats don’t find it.
@@NannyBananie My Friends Daughter loved it so much she hung it up in her room. Wayyyyyy high bc her cats *were* attacking the tassel, lol!
@@gerlinderosensteiner8250 I found the other rainbow one!!! - www.yarnspirations.com/ca-en/red-heart-super-saver-color-block--rainbow/E308-9268.html
This is a great idea.,...I teach crochet at the local Senior citizen's.center.. My girls have forgotten everything I taught them after the center closed for 18 months.. It's been driving me nuts to figure how to get them to go back and practice their stitches. This is OUR next project!!!!!!!! LGB. YEah!!!
Thank you Anya for the great idea. I was going to hang one in my flower bed, where hummingbird & all sort of bird & butterfly visit my garden but in doing a little research, I find out wind spinner are scary for birds so I will have to find the spinner another location so the birds can continue to visit my garden to feed on the many flowers.
What a fabulous tutorial, but I think it should come with a warning! These are seriously addictive 😂 I have made 8 in a matter of days I love them. I have 3 hanging from a tree in my garden that I can see from my armchair they are quite mesmerising. I have hung the rest on a pergola at the front of my house, hopefully passerby’s will enjoy seeing them. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent.
They are addictive. They will def. bring a smile on the faces of the passers by.
Yes I've made loads.
How amazing I get addicted too I can’t ever sit down with out crocheting now ,going to make this right now x
I love this idea and can’t wait to try them. I have a question though, what happens if it rains and they get wet. Do they still spin nicely when they dry?
@@cheriarmstrong5256 Hi. Considering I live in England there hasn’t been much rain at all since I hung them out! But what little rain we’ve had hasn’t affected them too much, I use acrylic yarn which seems to dry ok. I’ve also started crocheting over some strimmer wire on the last row, which really helps them hold their shape. Hope this helps ☺️
Every year, I do Halloween for my grandkids, this year to add to my collection ,wind spinners.Purple orange, ect Thank you for my this years project, I was stumped
You are a brilliant teacher Ania. The time you take to explain and show the details is perfect for learning. Thank you for this pattern I know many people who will love it.
You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
And she is fun while doing it
Such a fun project Anja, I want to make these in red, green & white for Christmas. 💗🧶c
That's an excellent idea ♥️
Yes, just what I was thinking too. Also perhaps using some novelty gold yarn to make even more festive.
Bloody good idea for chrimbo!👍🏼
I did the same
I made a couple of these Christmas spinners last year and added sparkly gold to reds, greens, white. My daughter loves them! Oh and I ended each with a big round bell (instead of a tassel). They ring when brushed against, or opening the door if placed instead of a wreath decoration.
These are so pretty and whimsical, i love them. I think these would make perfect Random Acts of. Crochet Kindness items to leave around for people to find.
Great idea !!!❤️❤️❤️
I’m going to do some of these to hang in the tree outside my local preschool.
Thank you for this tutorial, I am going to make one for my mum who has Alzheimer’s, she will love it. I will make lots of them so the other residence at the care home can all have one. 💕🧶
What a fun bow on a baby gift these would make or holiday colored bows…a d layer. Baby could giggle at it over the bed hanging.
Absolutely gorgeous and easy even for beginners like me the colors are endless great scrap buster too
Im excited to do this! Thanks!!
I'm addicted.
6 made so far.
Great Christmas gift idea. I've added some trinkety angel things to some for the granddaughters and old necklace pendants (stone type) to others
Hi Anja I came across this tutorial and I’m smitten. I love wind spinners they’re mesmerising and I have made so many after watching your tutorial. Not only that I have also fallen in love with tassels and I enjoy making them so much because your demo makes them so easy to make. Thank you so much you’ve inspired me so much. Love from Neimut in Cambridge UK.❤
Hello Neimut, so glad I have given you inspiration for your crochet, enjoy it, Anja x
I love this! I shared this with Random Acts of Crochet Kindness on Facebook and people are loving it! Thank you

Darn, I missed the deadline also. I was finishing up a charity project and this was my reward. I'll just have to write it myself. So excited to make this. 💕🧶
Thank you so much ma'am to teach the easiest way of making wind spinner.
Made an acrylic scarf on the order of the Sashay yarn/fluffy ruffle type that didn't go over at craft fairs (folks still love the Sashay kind). Adding a tassel and hanger to make a spinner will sell it! Thank you!
Beautiful will.try.thank.
Awesome....I am gonna make it for my budgie.
I think it would be really fun for him to play on!
Thank you....
WOW!!! I have never seen this done with yarn. So BEAUTIFUL and easy. Thank You so much. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for teaching us how to crochet this beautiful wind spinner! I loved the video with the music and blue spinner on the screen while finishing one round and the others, tassel, and all! Very pleasant video with easy to follow directions! Blessings to you!
Thank you for watching Maria Cristina Mason ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
I love this. I would leave enough yarn at the top to crochet a chain to.hang it with. I feel.it would be stronger .
Project simple but very nice. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this project, I am so proud of myself after I finished it I hung it under the patio umbrella looks so beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you
A great tutorial! Very easy to understand and relaxing as well! I just finished my first wind spinner! I added a bead to the top of the tassel and a butterfly charm to the belt of the tassel too! Gonna make more!

These are so pretty! Going to make some for my grandchildren to hang outside their windows and on their trees for Valentine's Day.🥰💕
What a great idea Jackie, Anja x
Oh oh! One could change colors IN the rows also!
I have just discovered these spinners! I think you are great! I love your attitude. I hope you are well and still creating new ideas! Thank you
Hi, oh yes, I'm still getting many ideas, there's been a lot of videos out since this one, I invite you to have a browse on my channel page, I'm sure you'll find lots that peaks your inspiration!! Thank you starred56, Anja x
This is so lovely! My sis gave me many small balls of yarn that I had no idea what to do with, thank you so much for sharing this!
If you start with 50 ch, each row would be as follows:
1) 50 ch
2) 50 sc
3) 100 dc
4) 300 dc
5) 300 sc
Please understand that I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PATTERN.
I only provided the stitch total in each row, as she commented on not knowing the stitch count.
IT IS NOT THE PATTERN!
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE PATTERN!
Life is too short for all this counting! Enjoy making your spinner!! Anja xxx
The only counting I did was when I was chaining. 100 chains 😉
Thank you for doing this ,great idea .
Thank you
If I started with 50 chains, about how long would my spinner end up being?
So clever. She explains things so well. Excellent, I am going to make two for my pergola😁
I think this idea and video us going to go viral...watch thus space the possibilities with this project are endless xx
Thank you for watching Anulay Johnson aka Gamin Gran ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Whimsical and colorfully delightful! Thank you😊
Thank you for sharing. I love your ring on your right hand.

Thank you for the pattern.
Yet another ingenious idea Anja. So very, very effective. Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
What a fun idea for a baby's room or a garden window
Love this...I will be making it in the “thin blue line” colors honoring both living and fallen police officers! Many Christmas’s ago I used this pattern to make garlands for decoration...starting with 300 chains! I made 9 or 10 of them!
What fun!!!! I will be making these for my family for Christmas...many grandchildren who will definitely love watching them move in the wind!
For Christmas spinner I am thinking of replacing the tassel with a bell or ornament...an angel woukd be sweet
I can't wait to make some of these to hang outside my store and my back garden! Beautiful!
Thank you for chairing my dearest 🌺🌸❤️
You're welcome! Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas🎄

Oh I was looking forward to seeing the one just made, hanging.
Sorry, that one was a gift! Anja x
How fun! I can't wait to try this. I'm stuck in a 300 st count temperature blanket that is all consuming. Nightmarish lol
Lovely! Thank you for this tutorial. I now have made 10 and am giving them away as gifts to welcome fall.
This is brilliant I can’t wait to do this, thanks so much for the video. Cheers Aussie David

Great idea

I'm so glad you enjoy my tutorials Vanessa, thank you for watching, Anja x
Thank you Anja for this wonderful tutorial. It was the most relaxing project I’ve ever done. I'm definitely going to make many more! As you warned, I did have a problem of curling on the last row but I believe I overcame that by switching to a hook one size higher. Immensely addicting!
Thank you so much for is beautiful tutorial just love it. . God bless you and your family
Thank you! You too! Anja x
What a very beautiful, simply elegant project!!!thank you for sharing ❤most definitely my next add on to my hanging humming bird feeders and windchimes on porch!!!just marvelous!!!also a great 🎁!!!!
