KristinesCrochets : October 2020

Hi Everyone! 🙂

Today I have a cute Snowflake Ornament crochet pattern to share with you. It's worked up in 4 rounds using sport weight cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. If you would like to make the snowflakes smaller or larger, sustitute any yarn/thread weight. You can use them as decorations anywhere in your home, from Christmas trees to walls and windows.

Below you will find a video tutorial for the snowflake as well as the written instructions.

Hope you enjoy!

Happy crocheting!😊❄
