Is This Crochet Snowflake Suitable For Beginners?
This pattern is a wonderful project for upper beginners or intermediate crocheters. If you’re a beginner who feels comfortable with working in the round and knows post stitches, you can give this snowflake pattern a try. It’s a great introduction to crocheting lace and more complex projects.
Which Yarn Gives The Best Results?
To give your crochet snowflakes a delicate look and a nice glowing effect, the designer used two types of threads – Garnstudio DROPS Glitter and Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat. You will crochet your ornament, holding these two yarns together. Choosing a thicker yarn will result in a larger snowflake piece and a bulkier design.
Do I Need To Use Stiffener To Keep The Shape?
Blocking and stiffening are recommended for this crochet snowflake pattern. Blocking will help your finished snowflakes lie flat and look symmetrical, while stiffening will ensure they hold their crisp, delicate shape over time.
To stiffen the ornaments, pin them to a blocking mat and spray them with a fabric stiffener or apply starch solution.

How Long Does It Take To Finish The Pattern?
These handmade snowflake ornaments are very quick to complete. You will crochet each piece in 6 rounds, starting from the center. If you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas project, this pattern is the perfect choice!
What Size Hook Should I Use?
The Flower Star Snowflake Pattern calls for a 2 mm crochet hook and thread yarn. These materials will help you create an ornament that measures 10 cm in diameter after blocking. However, snowflake size can be easily customized by choosing a bigger or smaller hook.
