How Difficult Is This Snowflake Crochet Pattern?
This intricate ornament design will suit intermediate crocheters best. You will complete this pattern in 6 rounds, starting from the center, which makes it a speedy project. The snowflake’s distinctive texture is achieved by incorporating both basic and post stitches.
Which Yarn Creates The Best Effect?
The project combines Scheepjes Sweet Treat and Drops Glitter Silver yarn held together to create a unique textured effect. The DROPS Glitter yarn is a metallic thread that will add a beautiful shimmery accent to your crochet snowflake ornaments. Instead of using both yarns, you can go for a light fingering yarn.
The finished size of your piece will depend on your choice of yarn and hook.
Do I Need To Block Or Stiffen The Finished Snowflake?
To ensure the snowflake’s shape is neat and flat, blocking and stiffening are recommended. Be sure to soak your ornaments in water for several minutes and then pin them to a backing mat. For stiffening, you can apply a fbaric stiffener, starch solution, or a mix of white glue and water.
Can I Join Several Snowflakes Together For A Garland?
Yes, you can! These pieces measure approx. 10 cm in diameter, which makes them perfectly sized for different decorative purposes. To create a crochet snowflake garland, you simply need to add a hanging loop to each ornament and then thread them onto a string.
