Crochet Pattern - Pinwheel Centerpiece

This is another of my older patterns I've decided to make free, one of my few patterns that isn't a stuffed animal.

It's a Pinwheel centerpiece that measures about 20 1/2 inches in diameter and can be made in any colors to suit your needs or for any holiday.

If you find any errors or need any help with the pattern, please contact me and I will help in any way I can. :)
