General Description
Bring a genuine, form-stable highlight into your home for the holiday season with this detailed crochet pattern! The X-Mas-Twister is a beautiful wind spinner that, thanks to a compact crochet technique and a clever assembly system, holds its perfectly flat, level shape entirely without any fiberfill in the base. The pattern is written in an easy-to-understand format and guides you step-by-step through the entire project – perfect for cozy crafting hours during the Advent season or as a unique gift idea.
What can be made:
With this pattern, you will crochet the complete tree body featuring 9 detailed branch levels as well as the integrated bottom plate. For the wind spinner hanging below, you can choose between two different underbody styles: Option A (a sturdy Podest Spiral with embedded aluminum wire) or Option B (a bouncy Corkscrew Spiral with a strong curl effect). Additionally, the pattern includes three practice-proven design and decoration variations: the classic green model with a continuous tinsel chain, the elegant gold version with shimmering accents, and a sweet character model complete with a snow-covered look, arms, and a face. The instructions for a matching star-shaped tree topper are also included.

Size Information
Size and Dimensions
The actual size of your finished X-Mas-Twister depends on your individual crochet tension, the yarn weight used, and primarily on your chosen bottom spiral option.
Since the starting foundation chain of the spirals can be lengthened or shortened to your liking, the overall length is wonderfully customizable.
When using the recommended original yarn (Gruendl Cotton Quick Uni / Schachenmayr Catania) and a 3.0 mm hook size, the approximate dimensions are as follows:
• Tree Body (without spiral): approx. 12 cm (4.7 inches) in height and approx. 11 cm (4.3 inches) in diameter at the widest part of the base (Level 9)
• Total Length with Option A (Podest Spiral, 104 chains): approx. 35 to 40 cm (13.8 to 15.7 inches), including the hanging loop and the bottom decorative ornament
• Total Length with Option B (Corkscrew Spiral, 40 chains): approx. 25 to 30 cm (9.8 to 11.8 inches) – due to the tight, steep spiral curl effect, this version coils downward in a more compact style
