Learn how to crochet a snowflake with my step-by-step pattern and video tutorial. These festive motifs are really versatile and perfect for your Christmas table decorations, present toppers or just as a pretty decoration on your tree.
This pattern looks created in different yarns whether you want to use a sparkly DK, chunky or aran. Have a play and get creative! Simply alter the size of your hook, and check the belly band on the yarn for the recommended hook size. Personally, I think they look great in a sparkly DK!
