Can I Use Thicker Yarn Instead Of Thread?
To make this crochet snowflake ornament, you don’t need to use thread. If working with a thin crochet thread seems like a daunting task for you, go for fingering yarn. It will give you similar effects, but because it’s slightly thicker than a thread, it’s also easier to handle. However, you should keep in mind that it will change the size of your snowflake.
The designer used Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread and a 1.5 mm crochet hook to make the samples visible in the photos.
Do I Need to Stiffen These Crochet Snowflakes?
If you want your handmade creations to look beautiful hanging from your Christmas tree, don’t forget to stiffen them properly.
Mix some water with starch solution or fabric stiffener, and soak your finished ornaments for a few minutes. Then, after removing gently the excess water, pin them down evenly on a blocking mat or piece of cardboard and let them dry.
