Crochet Wind Chime Spinner
Materials Needed:
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- 2 wooden macramé rings
- 3 bells
- 4 different colors of yarn
Pattern Overview:
- Crocheting the Base Chain
- Single Crochets Along the Chain
- Adding Double Crochets
- Further Expanding with Double Crochets
- Adding a Scalloped Edge with Chains and Single Crochets
- Attaching the Rings and Bells
- Final Eye Cord and Bells Setup
Pattern Steps:
Crocheting the Base Chain
- Create a slip knot.
- Chain 80 stitches (or more for a longer length).
- This serves as the foundation of your wind chime project.
Single Crochets Along the Chain
- Chain 1, ignore the very first chain.
- Single crochet in the next chain and in each chain across to the end.
- Total will be 80 single crochets if you started with 80 chains.
Adding Double Crochets
- Change to a second color at the end of your row.
- Chain 2 (this chain does not count as a stitch).
- Put 2 double crochets into the first stitch and each subsequent stitch across the row.
- You’ll have a total of 160 double crochets by the end of this row.
Further Expanding with Double Crochets
- Attach a third color and chain 2.
- Continue placing 2 double crochets in each stitch all the way back.
- This row will have 320 double crochets if you follow the same doubling pattern.
Adding a Scalloped Edge with Chains and Single Crochets
- Attach the fourth color yarn; chain 1, turn.
- Single crochet in the first stitch, then in each of the next four stitches.
- Chain 3, single crochet in the next stitch (not skipping any stitches), and repeat five single crochets followed by a chain of 3.
- Continue the pattern until reaching the end.
Attaching the Rings and Bells
- Start at the base where the first color begins.
- Using square knots, tie the yarn ends around the wooden rings securely.
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Attach bells at the bottom using an i-cord method. Create a loop through each bell and secure with a knot.
Final Eye Cord and Bells Setup
- Choose two colors and create slip knots. Work eye cords with chosen lengths (recommended lengths: one of 10 and another of 15).
- Attach these to the lower part of the wind chime.
- Secure the third bell closer to the top or beside the ring for a balanced visual and auditory effect.
