Techniques You’ll Use While Working This Pattern
The Pointsetta Snowflake is done in 7 rounds using basic stitches, tall stitches, and some special stitches. The pattern starts with a flower center motif and then builds up a beautiful lace framing with a clever use of treble crochets, picots, and chain spaces.
If you want a classic snowflake appliqué, you can stop working up this pattern after a few rounds before moving on to the openwork section.
What Yarn and Hook Works Best for This Snowflake Pattern?
For this crochet snowflake pattern, use lace 100% cotton yarn paired with a small hook. The designer suggests choosing Scheepjes Maxi Bon Bon/Sugarrush and a 1.5 mm or 1.75 mm hook.
These materials allow for a perfect balance of softness and structure, enhancing the overall appeal of the Pointsetta Snowflake.
How Do I Make My Crochet Snowflake Hold Its Shape?
To give your crochet snowflakes a nice, polished finish and well-shaped look, you need to block them in water mixed with starch.
Spread the ornaments evenly on a blocking mat or a piece of cardboard, and then pin them down to keep them in place. Wait until they are completely dry, remove the pins, and your snoflakes are ready to go!
