Who needs an easy but equally charming snowflake crochet pattern? Ask and you shall receive! Crocheting this Snowflake Ornament designed by Annanitato Lolo is really a piece of cake, but that doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful. I’m truly in love with its star-shaped lacy design, and I’m sure you will be delighted too! These pieces will look wonderful hanging from your Christmas tree or strung into a festive winter garland.
Is This Pattern Good For Beginners?
Totally! If you’re starting out and would like to make your first crochet Christmas decorations, this pattern is perfect for you. It includes beginner-friendly instructions with photos documenting every step of the process, and there is even a helpful video tutorial to give you extra support.
What’s more, the ornament is crocheted in four rounds using just chains and double crochets.
Can I Use Thicker Yarn For This Crochet Snowflake?
Instead of employing fine cotton thread, you can complete your snowflake using medium-weight yarn, which is much easier to work with, especially for beginners. However, if you’re looking for an ultra-lace texture and perhaps a little challenge, feel free to go for Aunt Lydia’s Fashion 3 Crochet Thread.
When using medium-weight yarn, such as Caron Simply Soft, paired with a 3 mm crochet hook, you will obtain an ornament measuring about 4” (10.5 cm) in diameter.
Can I Use Metallic Or Sparkly Yarn?
Using a metallic yarn for crochet snowflake ornaments is a fantastic idea! If you would like to give your creations a little sparkle, crochet them by holding together a strand of metallic thread and a strand of regular yarn. Garnstudio DROPS Glitter is a stunning thread with a metallic glimmer effect that will make your ornaments extra shiny!
