Can Beginners Crochet This Snowflake?
It’s ideal for intermediate crocheters who know how to read crochet charts. The Snowflake “Frosty Lace” pattern will suit those looking for a challenge and adorn their space with a timeless winter ornament.

What You’ll Need For This Project
For lace Christmas crochet ornaments like these snowflakes, cotton threads work best. The suggested yarn, YarnArt Violet 10, enhances the intricate details of this project, creating a delicate snowflake motif that will add an elegant touch to any seasonal display.
The designer used a 1.5 mm hook, but if you feel to size up or down, feel free to go for a 1.25 mm or 1.75 mm hook.
How Long Does It Take to Make One Snowflake?
It’s really hard to give a definite answer because it will depend on one’s skills and their general crocheting pace.
An experienced crocheter should be able to complete this crochet snowflake ornament in about 1–1.5 hours. However, the moment you complete your first piece and get familiar with the pattern, I’m sure you will manage to finish every next motif even faster.
How Do I Make My Crochet Snowflakes Stiff?
Stiffening finished crocheted snowflakes is essential to achieve a nice, crisp look and symmetrical shape. There are multiple methods to do that. The simplest way is to mix some starch with water and soak your ornaments. Pin them flat on a blocking mat or piece of cardboard and let them dry.
