Thank you so much! I hold my yarn and hook the way most northern Europeans do. In Finland we are taught this at school, although not exactly like that, I have changed it a bit but still looks the same! I was in my 40s before I realised that there are different ways people crochet 😊
I used fishing swivels to hang mine, then the hanging thread doesn’t get twisted and break . These are good sellers at the market etc as they catch peoples eye. Thanks for the video.
Hi Tuula Maaria! My sister in law had a great idea: the single strand of yarn holding up her wind spinner got frayed because of too much spinning (it’s windy in her area). She thought of a nylon fishing yarn to replace it. I think dental floss would work out as well. Floss is easier to knot than nylon. Hope this helps!
That is beautiful and I loved your teaching technique. It was calming too watch you and listen too your instructions. Thank you for doing this beautiful video.
You are a great teacher. I've made several of your projects as a beginner, and you made it so easy. The only thing I struggle with is the hook size isn't always said or posted, and as a beginner, I do my best guess
Lovely, thank you! True, I don't always say the hook size because it completely depends on the yarn. In projects or samples that can be made in any yarn I prefer not to say!
This is so timely. I belong to two Australian crochet facebook groups and someone put some wind spinners up that they had made. I was very impressed, having never seen them before and now, Thanks to you Tuula I can make my own. I'm thinking Christmas, out on our back verandah, red green and silver or gold wind spinners hanging down from the roof. Would look very pretty.
Wonderful! This made me think that these would look nice even here at Christmas time, especially if there was snow (which we most years don't have here in the very south of Finland!) Different Christmas colours hanging from your roof would look lovely, a big job though getting them attached there!
These are brilliant 👍 thank you I'm sure I will be able to do some you are a good teacher. Doing some will keep me busy in the long winter nights to come 🙂loulou England xxxxx
Your spinners are very pretty & so creative. Most of them are plain. Probably cause they look cool when spinning regardless of color. I’m going to save this for when I want a fun project!!
Loved your foundation row. I've seen it before, but couldn't get the hang of it. Your slow walk through it .. well, I can do it. Going to make some to hang in nursery for new granddaughter. Thank you
Great tutorial. I like the variations you made, tapering the ends and doing the chain stitches in row 3. And love the picot edging. I'm just learning Fsc, just made a pair of fingerless gloves using Fsc as the beginning row. I know your tutorial will help me master this stitch! Thank you!
Hello from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦. Hello Tuila. I je bought I lost you! I’m so glad I found you again and the beautiful wind spinners patterns you make. Thank you.
Very nice, I just enjoy listening to your voice :-) Something I also do with other hyperbolic crochet (so much fun!), is to crochet the last row over something like a lightweight washing line twine, to give that edge a smoother, sturdier look. Might have to try it on one of these.
You use my favourite hook and hold your hook like me...I had to like and subscribe for that alone! (although I'm a lefty). I'm going to try this project! Thanks!
Oh that's interesting! Thank you for subscribing 😊. Here in Finland most people hold the hook like I do, it varies so much also from country to country!
The good thing about acrylic is that it doesn't stretch when it gets wet. (Your comment was in spam because words seems and like had a dot in between, then YT understands it as a link and automatically puts it into spam! I look at the spam folder about once a week.)
Thanks for this :). It's beautiful. Just wanted to ask if you could give a quick detailed pattern of the picot boarder please? I don't know what you mean by every 2 chains? Thanks so much
Hello, I love making these. Quick question, will tying yarns together in the three double crochet row, cause it to wobble? I got half through, and lost at yarn chicken. I think I will frog it anyway. Good to know for future reference. I love all your work.Thank You. Much love to you. ( I just might finish it, and see for myself. If so, I will leave another comment.)
You might have done something to it already - I answer comments on old videos about once a week. I wouldn't tie yarns together but just start a new one and weave the ends in, or if your yarn is quite fine, use the twist method to join ruclips.net/video/RdZrJtn7Hdg/видео.html
Most of mine are about 80 cm in length but they can be almost anything, whatever fits to where you plan to hang it. Very long ones, especially if they get rain, can have the swirls open.
Absolutely love these I don't know why I never thought of it because I've actually been crocheting stuffed animals and I've been doing octopus and squids not squid I'm sorry octopus and a jellyfish and it's a similar pattern to make their long tentacles so I wonder if it'll be similar to make the wind spinners I think they're amazing
Please don‘t hang things on your mirror. They obstruct your view. The constant dangling distracts you. If there‘s something shiny it blinds you as well. Just… just don‘t, please.
Sunday morning now, it looks like autumn is starting early after an unusually hot summer. Only 14 C now but expected to get warmer during the day. But such a fresh, crisp morning, I'm heading out for a walk by the sea before breakfast 😊
I just have 1 question. How long was your Foundation? That way I can follow the pattern and if I want to make a smaller Wind Spinner I know how to adjust the pattern. Thank You so much. Loved your video! And your tutorial!
Thank you! 🙂 The one I'm making on the video, the foundation was about 55 cm but I didn't measure it or count the stitches. Each one in the photos is different in length.
Do you know if the pattern will work out right should you want to make the spinners with wider *discs* by crocheting four - five - or even six or seven stitches in each stitch ? I love this pattern when you make the SC foundation row like you do. TY so much for sharing this method with us. I will prob start using that method on all the patterns I work which call for a SC foundation. (?) Maybe it would work out for a DC foundation, too ? TY again.
It does work with wider spirals although it then depends more on the type of yarn. Heavier yarn would make the spirals fall on top of each other. I wouldn’t use too many stitches is one stitch or it would start to go wavy and curl. 4 into a stitch in the next round. Yes, that way of starting works with double crochets, I have a video on that ruclips.net/video/ebNZx4xNcHw/видео.html Enjoy crocheting these! 😊
I haven't counted stitches. The final length is about the length of the starting chain so I just decided what length I wanted it to be. Most of mine are around 80 cm long.
Those are very pretty. Do you need to put something heavy in the bottom as well? Or just the string through the middle works to allow them to spin? Great job thank you!!
Thank you! You don't need anything heavy in the bottom unless you hang it in a very windy place and prefer it to stay upright. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything, it spins automatically. Just sew a piece of thread to the tops of it and hang. No need to string anything in the middle. The hanging thread needs to be something that allows it to turn freely, I use grizzle sewing thread.
Yes you can, depending on how fine your thread is. If it is very fine, the spinner will of course be very small. You could triple very fine yarn with this easy tip if necessary: ruclips.net/user/shortsm8hto-uUAhI
For written instructions on how to crochet the wind spinner with tapered ends, see my blog www.knit-crochet-blog.com/how-to-crochet-wind-spinner/!
I love that you start with Fsc instead of chaining x number of chains. I prefer the Fsc. Love this pattern and video, it's very simple to follow.
Really nice to see a project with FSC so I can practice :-) thank you!

Oh, I’m going to do that.
I bought wind socks swivels from Amazon, inexpensive and sturdy.
This is my favorite wind spinner tutorial, they hang and spin the best!
Great to hear! 👍💜
Those are a great idea! I've never seen those before. I'd like to add those to my garden.
Yes, definitely make some for your garden in your favourite colours!

Also buying some fishing spinner jigs help out a lot from the yarn breaking. That's what I put at the top of all my windspinners that I have made.
That is beautiful and I loved your teaching technique. It was calming too watch you and listen too your instructions. Thank you for doing this beautiful video.

Thank you Tuula, the starting chain you do has certainly helped me with other projects. Thank you for sharing.

I really like these wind spinners im going to make fall and Halloween colors. Ur very creative.
Glad you like them! The original idea is very old but there are so many ways to vary them for different uses 😊
Love love love this. Thank you so much. You are such a good teacher ❤️💐
