Simple Snowflake Crochet Pattern by YarnWars

crochet snowflake

It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year!

Winter! Ahem, I mean, the holidays!

So, I started working on another type of pattern, but I got this far and thought… Gosh darnit! I made a snowflake! A pattern was born. So here you are, a pretty, simple, quick to work up project for the holidays.

This is one of those brain dead projects that, once you make one… for the pattern end of it, you will be whipping these out in no time. Several in an hour, in fact! My quickest workup of one of these was 12 minutes. That was after making about 3 of them. The other 3 were around 15 minutes.

Let’s just say this project will give you a quick brain break from the big afghan you’re making, or all of the orders you have to fill…. and, well, it’s pretty!

Make them for tree ornaments, pull out your cotton and work up a few snowflake coasters to fest up the home, grab your crochet thread and work up some pretty snowflake pins for your friends at the office (that idea was given to me by a dear friend and one of my co-admin’s Jeri!).

So many different things you can do! Let’s see what creatives you come up with! Let’s make a snowflake!

** for each ch 3 space in round. Join into 1st dc made in round.
Slip st into next dc, then also into 1st ch 3 space. *Ch 2, work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all into that
ch 3 space, ch 1, work a sc into the space between the 2 sets of dc from previous round,
sl st into next dc, sl st into next ch 3 sp.* Repeat ** to end. When you complete your final
ch 3 space, you will work a sc in between the 2 sets of dc as before, then join to the base
of the chain up made in the beginning, with sl st.
Ch 1, sl st into the 1st dc from previous round. *Ch 3, treble crochet into next st, sc into
next st, sl st into ch 3 corner, ch 2, work (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, 2dc) all into the ch 3

If you are looking for ideas for your snowflakes, honestly, the sky is the limit on this one! Make
some small ones from crochet thread and a smaller hook for gift tag décor!, coasters, such as
the ones displayed in photo above, ornaments for the tree, hang them from your outdoor trees,

I really hope you enjoyed working this up and I hope you make a ton and hang them all over
your house, from the tree to the walls to the ceiling! They are sooooo fast to work up.
After the video, I timed myself start to finish on a snowflake, same size, same yarn/hook, it
took me 12 minutes, and that was messing with my yarn to unwind! That quick!
There are others quicker than me, so if you crochet fast, you will have no problem whipping up
several of these in under an hour.
Make sure if you have any questions at all to take a look at the video tutorial linked above. I
