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
A project without a tassel is like a day without sunshine :)
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. 💕
Thank you Anya, I live in a caravan so this will be a lightweight decoration. A very simple gift for anyone.
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.
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 ☺️
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.
@@ann-brittbjurhult4997 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
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!
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. 💕🧶
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
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.
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
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.
How much fun these will be to make and use up scrap yarn!
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.
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.
Thank you so much ma'am to teach the easiest way of making wind spinner.
WOW!!! I have never seen this done with yarn. So BEAUTIFUL and easy. Thank You so much. 👍👍👍
I love this spinner. I made one this morning. Reminds me of the radish curls my mom used to make for our garden salad. ❤❤❤thank you
I hope you will enjoy making this project, don't forget to download the free pattern from my website until the 13th August, link in the description box. Don't forget to post your finished project in the OT group but also in any other crochet group you belong to! Anja xxx
U read my mind.A month a go.I was looking for a spinner made out of yarn.I 💕 it.Ive be making lots. Thank you.
I'm sorry I just saw this today. I just missed the free pattern. But I believe I got this just by the tutorial. Thank you so much. These are so cute.
@@jenreeves7684 Me too. Just too late.
Me three :)
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. 💕🧶
BEAUTIFUL!!! I’m bombing my tree in the front of my house with a few of these!!!❤️
Wonderful!! Thank you for watching Jan Slocum ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
The possibilities are endless here for projects and gifts!!! Thank you ❤️
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.
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
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.
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
I can't wait to make some of these to hang outside my store and my back garden! Beautiful!
I love your tutorial, I threw myself in at the deep end and did a 100 chain spinner. I've never made one before, this was my first and I'm so happy with how it turned out.xx
Oh Anja! How cute is this?! Someone is bringing me a very special piece of hand made pottery, next week, and I was racking my brain trying to come up with the proper thank you”. I do believe you’ve just solved that dilemma for me! Hahaha! Thank you for this lovely idea!
😘😘😘
Wonderful!
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
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!
What a lovely and cheerful little spinner!! this is just adorable! Reminds me of Butterflies that dances in the air above the flowers. Light and delightful! So apart from little shawls for my granddaughter's dolls, she is going to have some "butterfly" Wind Spinners ;) thank you so much Anja xx
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
Awesome....I am gonna make it for my budgie.
I think it would be really fun for him to play on!
Thank you....
Ohhh these are soooo fun make!!! ❤❤❤..I took apart all my mandala yarn (#3) and rolled in to balls all the separate colours ..I will be able to make LOTS now !!!!
Just finished my crochet spinner and I love it! Going to make more for some of my family members and friends. Thank you so much for the easy to follow instructions ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous and easy even for beginners like me the colors are endless great scrap buster too
Im excited to do this! Thanks!!
Very pretty
Oh oh! One could change colors IN the rows also!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial Ophelia!! I'm officially on the Wind Spinner bandwagon now and just finished my first one. Love how it turned out. :) I'll be making plenty more of these as gifts for sure. Such a great project for left over yarn!
Very easy to follow your instructions, and it’s going to be a fun project to crochet. Thank you, Ophelia!
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 💕🌈
Lovely they have been around for years here in the USA been on youtube a few years now too I followed one from 4 years ago I hung them in my trees
So clever. She explains things so well. Excellent, I am going to make two for my pergola😁
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!
I am going to make one for my new grandson and my granddaughter would love one too!! Thank you Anja!! 😊
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
Started and finished one as I was watching 💜 Love it💜
Thank you. Something different for me to make and leave out for my Random Acts of Crochet Kindness
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
Made one for my grandson today, he loves it. Thank you for sharing 😊
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?
Oh! Forgot to mention that I already finished my first spinner and love it! I’m starting a second one and I know will make more for friends.💖
Wonderful!
Just made the wind spinner and very pleased with it and have hung it on my balcony.
Thank you for the pattern.
Thought it was difficult but it is So easy beautiful....thank you ...God bless us all always
This is a beautiful fun way to use up scrap yarn! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to make one!
This project was so much fun I am making some with sports colors and putting them on my trailer to show off thanks 😊
Great idea
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!
Oh that sounds charming Hilary, are you a member of the FB group? I'd love to see a picture, thank you, Anja x
I just competed my first spinner and I love it. I can’t wait for the wind to pick up so I can see it in it’s full glory! 😀🥰
Amazing wind spinner can’t wait
Fabulous project! It’s very popular, I’ve been seeing them on different crochet groups for a week! Planning on making some of course! Thank you! 💜🧶😊
Have fun! Thank you for watching Chelle Shell Crochet ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
We always have a breeze or a good wind here these would be lovely around my outside.
It's beautiful, I want to try it with sparkling yarn.
This is such a lovely little project! Thank you! I am always looking for something to do between larger projects for relief!
Love it! Red ones for Christmas, yellow ones for Easter etc. On my crochet list! ❤️🐇🤶
Great idea!! ❤
I’m going to make for all seasons and as many holidays I can think of. Above comment mentioned Bells for Christmas and I might do any kind of decor instead of tassel for variety.
We need to learn how to make it in the shape of a christmas tree.
so nice u gave me an idea what to decorate on my grandaughter's bday... thanks it's so lovely
Perfect for busting up scraps! I just had a huge mini yarn ball clear out
Hi Anja! This tutorial was mesmerizing from start to finish. Thank you so much❤
Thank you for this! I have made one for my mother for her birthday and I am so happy with how it’s turned out, she is going to love it ❤️ So easy to follow too!
I bet she will love it. Thank you for watching xxlawaxx1 ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
@@OpheliaTalks I gave it to her today and she loved it, she was so impressed 😃 thank you. I also shared in my crochet group on Facebook and so many people were amazed they are also going to try one, using your tutorial 👍
Just watch your views shoot up and up... there must be so many of us crocheting these spinners right now and linking to this video for others to do. They are fab
It's incredible. Thank you so much for watching and sharing. ❤
So simple to make and yet so beautiful, I will be making several of these 💕
Love this! Can't wait to make. Reminds me of curlies for pig tails. Soooo cute!!
Love this project!! And I love that it has to have a tassel!!😀
I have scraps left over from the last two CALs that we did. I now know what I'll be using them for! 💡💕
What is dk yarn?
@@patkrause4219 DK is an abbreviation for double knitting. Here in the US, a DK yarn is basically just a 3 weight yarn. I hope that makes sense. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
A shortened version would make a delightful hanging cat toy. I plan to try it. Bet you r kitty would love it!!
Great idea! Go for it!! Thank you for watching Archview Condominium ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
What a wonderful little project we have many trees on our property I will be making a few of these. Thank you for sharing this.

I love this, thank you so much for sharing, I've been making these since the beginning of May 2024, each time I finish one I start another. I've been giving them to friends, family and one to the instacart driver. I wish I could upload a picture so you can see them too😊
Awwww, what a lovely gift, thank you for watching, Anja x

Thank you 🌱
So simple, yet so beautiful....love it 🧶
Wow, thank you Anja! You've rekindled done great memories 💞 my grandmama ( great grandma) used to make these when I was a really small girl. I wild dance and play with them. She loved to hang them from the window valence in the very large bay window in her kitchen. As well as from the porch in the lil house out back where my Great Great Grandmama lived. I got my love of baking from her as well. Well always be a pie and cobbler girl over cakes any day !🥰
Have a delightful day Anja❣
Ps. I can't wait to share this with my youngest granddaughter who loves to Chet ( learning) at 6 years old. 🤗
