Four easy traditional crochet snowflakes in one pattern. Yes, there are some picots but not too many. Use them as ornaments to decorate a tree, as gift package decorations, or strew them across the center of a table. If you are new to crocheting with thread, start with the smallest snowflake first and work your way up to the larger. Making snowflakes is also a good intro to making doilies. Or, make the snowflakes in yarn for larger decorations.Written instructions only.US crochet terminology.LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: EasyMATERIALS: • Size 10 crochet thread: 5.5 yds (5m) for Snowflake A; 6.5 yds (6m) for Snowflake B; 8 yds (7.5m) for Snowflake C; 12 yds (11m) for Snowflake D.• Steel crochet hook size 6FINISHED SIZE: Snowflake A = 2.5" (6.5cm) across, Snowflake B = 2.75" (7cm) across, Snowflake C = 3.5" (9cm) across, Snowflake D = 4.25" (11cm) acrossGAUGE: Gauge is not critical for this project.STITCHES USED: Chain stitch (ch).
