- An easy and quick way to crochet and stiffen a snowflake ornament for your tree!
Check out the blog post with the WRITTEN PATTERN: blog.expressionfiberarts.com/...
You'll need some thin yarn (I used pure cashmere I had leftover from a scarf project:
And a size US 0 hook.
You can substitute larger yarn and a bigger hook if you want your snowflakes to be jumbo sized!

If you made it this far, I have the pattern written down for you. Here we go:
Start with a magic circle or wind yarn around finger three times with end of yarn at tip of finger. Slide hook under yarn and pull third loop under the first two loops then slide off finger.
Round 1: Chain 5, counts as first double crochet, chain 2. *Double crochet through both loops, chain 2. Repeat from * four more times. Gently pull tail to gather then slip stitch into chain 5 to join.
Round 2: Chain 3 and work 3 double crochet in chain 2 space, chain 2. *Work four double crochet in next chain 2 space, chain 2. Repeat from * four more times. Join to top of chain three.
Round 3: * Slip stitch in each double crochet across to chain 2 space and slip stitch in chain 2 space. Chain 3, slip stitch, chain 5, slip stitch, chain 7, slip stitch, chain 5, slip stitch, chain 3 slip stitch, all in same chain 2 space. Repeat from * five more times, cut yarn leaving a long tail and pull through loop.
To create loop to hang, use darning needle to weave end through one of the points. Do the same with the other end and tie.
To block, you can dampen the snowflake with just water and pin at each point to a piece of cardboard and let dry. For a stiffer snowflake it can be blocked using equal parts water and glue. You can also sprinkle with glitter for a sparkly snowflake after applying the glue/water mixture - Навчання та стиль
Wow! Thank you so much! Making crocheted snowflakes has always been something my grandma did for everyone in the family. She just made me, probably my last set :(, at 93 years old. I decided to try it out, to carry on her legacy, and I did it! I can't believe I just whipped one up in minutes. Thank you! Thank you! Wait until she sees it! ♥
+Tina Avery What a beautiful legacy to continue. : )
What a beautiful tribute.
Just wanted to add for people, if you do this project with acrylic yarn, it should be blocked with steam, this makes it permanent for acrylic yarn :) steaming it gently by hovering your iron above it, pat it softly to make stuff go in place and let it lay for 24 hours !
Great tutorial, I used this and it's amazing! thank you so much for your effort and easy to understand terminology!
Thank You 🌹
So, this is the first time I have ever crochet anything in my life! I had to keep scrolling back and also had to go to a tutorial about double crochet but I actually did it! I’m so pleased 😀 I made a few mistakes but if I asked anyone what they thought it was I would expect them to say ‘a snowflake ❄️!’ I’ve always wanted to crochet but been so scared with big projects like a throw or blanket so never got started. Finally managed your lovely snowflake design a few days before my 60th birthday!!! Thank you so much for the way you presented this tutorial, I’ll be looking at more once I’ve mastered the snowflake ❤
Wonderful, I'm so glad to hear that! Enjoy your Snowflake and I'm looking forward to hearing how you next project will go. You can do it and we're here to help you as well! Have a lovely day. 💕
This is one of the easiest snowflake patterns ever.Thank you so much. I can send one in every Christmas card!
Love this pattern, and the great and very clear demo! I’m making some in a metallic silver yarn as Christmas gifts. Perfect for posting to my family back in Australia - small, flat, lightweight, and easily slipped into an envelope! Thanks for sharing ☺️
I made 12 of these over the weekend to put in Christmas cards, so much fun. Instead of a glue stiffener I thought I would try hairspray, and it worked! Just a thought for someone looking for a quicker stiffener. Thanks again!
Great tip. Thank you. I will be trying both methods and see which I like better.

Qué bueno Anne! Porque yo había pensado en el spray para cabello, y ahora decís que te funcionó, genial! Gracias por compartir la experiencia❤
Hairspray is flammable
@@cam9058 wow! Thanks, I'd be the one to do it!!? Salt in the water would act as a fire retardant I'm sure! 🔥
Thank you for such clear instructions and making sure your hands and actions are always visible. One of the best crochet tutorials I've seen.
These are so easy.. I loved them from the start! I made one for every christmas quest at my house and for all our friends and put them in with their christmas cards... they loved them!! Thanks so much for doing this video!!
Really really great tutorial! Loved the pace, angling, narrating, thoroughness, ease, and high quality production. Also agreed on the magic circle explanation - I was never really able to follow it until your video.
+Steven Litrov Thanks! : )
Thanks for this great video! You explained the 'magic ring' in a way that totally made sense and I was able to do it. The snowflake is cute and easy. Thanks again!
Bella coco has a good magic ring video
I have made so many of these over the years. I have a lot of them on my tree and I use them as Christmas tags for gifts.
Thank you for teaching me how to make such a cute and easy snowflake. I give them out and people instantly get so happy😊
Brings joy
I just made one of these adorable snowflakes and I'm in love! This is my first time crocheting ever and I was able to complete this project with no hassle! Also AMAZING TUTORIAL!! thank you for the easy step by step instructions for beginners like me! I can't wait to try your other tutorials! :)
I followed your instruction and made lily-white Christmas earrings. They're GORGEOUS so a big thanks to you Chandi!
You're so welcome! 💕
I love learning in a judgmental free environment, because I need several demos, and I deserve them because it just feels like love. Thank you, dear heart. I don’t feel I’m nearly 80 in such a peaceful setting.
Your explanations are very clear and concise and the close ups you do on your work are very helpful. I've made these for family and friends for past Christmas gifts and now I'm back to commit it to memory so I can teach my Nana. She asks me to every time I see her!
😍
Love this tutorial !!! Can't wait to try in some various yarns. Thank you !!
Hiya, just came across your tutorial, thank you so much for making it, the snowflake is so pretty and quick to make. I've made a few already for my tree but I'm going to try a thinner cotton yarn to add them as a tag on Xmas presents to then have as a nice keepsake. Thank you 🥰
My favorite snowflake pattern, easy and beautiful!
Would really like to learn how to make angels. Nothing fancy, just a very simple angel.
Thank you for another great tutorial!
I was given a few balls of fine white with silver glitter yarn, this will so be the perfect project for it. Cannot not wait to make some. Great tutorial Thankyou.
Best explanation for a magic circle I've seen yet! Thank you!
+laurie stewart Thanks! : )
agree!!!!
So true
Yes, I could never get the ring until I saw your tutorial, thank you so much. I am a beginner and I love it.
Thank you very much for this simple and lovely snowflake😍. I decorated an winter dress ( Elsa, frozen) with it 😊
I have started looking for Christmas videos to start crocheting things for Christmas, ran across the small Snow flack pattern, I always crochet a few small things to send to my granddaughter so she have something every year from her granny, I love the little snow flakes, going to make serveral of them, thanks for the video
What a sweet gesture for your granddaughter. 💕
This is gorgeous and your tutorial is really clear and well paced. Easy to follow, very pretty result. I'm going to try this in a sparkly yarn too. Thank you.
Beginner here, had to do a lot new for the first time with this, but it was totally easy and fun and I now have a snowflake! Thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow (and pause) tutorial! XD I am making a ton of these this year! :D
+Alludra Theme Awesome!!
loooved crocheting this snowflake and I am a complete beginner, thanks so much!! :)
I have some metallic gold, silver, and red yarn that I bought on close-out sale 10+ yrs ago. I just used the gold for this and it looks amazing! Thank you for a straight forward tutorial!
Thank you for this tutorial! I made my first snowflake! Very easy to follow along! I'm planning on making a bunch and putting one on each Christmas gift!
Just found your tutorial.loved it, Here in the UK there is a snowflake appeal for Homestart Charity, they are looking for 30 thousand+ snowflakes,so far I have made 12 and going strong....thanks very much
+Agnes Robertson How many have you made now?! I'm curious. :)
40
These are lovely. I was going to make a lot of paper snowflakes for the window, now I'm thinking I might throw a couple of wooly ones in as well. In a shimmery yarn maybe.
They are beautiful and easy to make. I added shiny needs and I love it. Thank you
So happy to have found this site. So many snowflake ornaments are too complicated, but this one was easy to make and very pretty. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love these little snowflakes, you explain so well, I found them very easy to do after I watched you do one. Thank you for sharing this with us all. I make them for my friends and put one inside their Christmas card. Thanks again.
I had given up EVER learning and remembering how to do a magic circle. Thank you for such a simple and easy way to remember it! I’m am beyond pleased.
Also, thank you for such a sweet and fast snowflake with the type of picos that I can do without them getting incredibly wonky by trying to sl st into the chain. This works much better for me and is just the sweet little snowflake I was looking for! There’s a blizzard coming!
Perfect!
Bella coco video taught me the magic ring after my mum confused me a few times.
Such an easy and cute snowflake to make. Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰🧶🧶🧶
My pleasure! 💕
Thank you so much for making this video, it is the only one I can follow on UA-cam making a snowflake! You are a really good teacher. I am now off to make another one and going to put them onto my daughters knitted gloves ready for Winter.
You are so adorable when talking yarn , you shine with the love of yarn. Thank you for your time teaching me. I've saved more patterns then I've made. This snowflake with go onto the snow and hot chocolate throw from crochet crowd, I've changed the way he made it. Your snowflake pattern will be applicate on the square, each square will have a snowflake from other teachers. Your's will fit my vision , thank you!
You are so welcome! And that will look stunning. Enjoy your throw. 💕
This is one of the best videos I have seen. Informative, great visually and you are so happy! I love it! Thank you so much - Merry Christmas!

You can't see what she's doing, it's a terrible tutorial. It's shot so far away and her direction is terrible.
The directions are good but the angle is not the most helpful
you are a life saver.. I've been looking for a snowflake tutorial.. and this one is easy and it looks very complicated but elegant.. good job!! thankyou.. I didn't believe you when you said it's just 3steps.. lol.. good job!! your awesome!
Found it impossible to start with those directions. Anyone else new to this technique ?
Vanessa Bill i
what found difficult?Is the most easy snowflake!
the magic cyrcle in the start found difficult?
I was trying to find a cute, simple, small snowflake pattern for my granddaughters Frozen scarf that I have made for her and this was perfect and so easy. Great video!
Thank youuuu! Your instructions are so clear and you go at just the right pace to be easy to follow without being tediously slow :D such a cute lil snowflake, can't wait to give it a go!
Please show how to crochet a teddy bear for beginners! I'm new at crocheting and I watched your video on how to crochet for beginners and it really helped me learn:) I bought these cool crocheted horses a while ago and they're soo cute! I really want to learn how to crochet a small bear that requires only 1 color of yarn and is pretty easy. Thank you for your help!
That's a brilliant idea

I had always wanted to do a snowflake but thought it would be hard!!!!!! You made it easy to follow thanks a lot. I’m gonna make a whole bunch
This video is therapeutic! I love how nice you explain all the moves. Happy holidays!
My favorite snowflake and so easy and fast. This looks nice on the side of hats, too!
Made four of these this evening, they're so easy to do and look lovely! One is going to a friend and the others are staying for my tree
I just wanted to update you that I made 5 of these yesterday and after a 3 year hiatus I am very happy - so I do carry your light in my heart.
hugs
+webbsway XOXO!!!!
thank you. I'm a novice to crotcheting. Granted I've crotched a baby blanket, 2 Santa Hats, 2 American color Beanies, 2 halloween jester beanies, practicing on granny squares, and last being inspired to freely with no form make wine bottle cover. Now with your simple snowflake instruction. I can make my family and ornaments for Christmas. Thank you.
I'm going to use this to embellish a gray winter scarf for my mother-in-law! Thank you so much!!
Just did snowflake video with you, I love my snowflake thank you so much they will be around my Christmas tree!
Have been crocheting all the snowflakes and stars I can, just love love love these ones!!! Thank you 💕
Wonderful, glad you like them! 💕
Love everything about your beautiful tutorial, young lady! You really reached in and touched my heart. I have always wanted to do a snowflake in crochet-but never thought I could tackle anything so precious and delicate looking. I was feeling especially low this morning due to a rude person but after being emerged in your light and education I am now happy-happy because i have my first real snowflake and thankful that you are so sweet and generous to share of your gift. Many thanks and hugs from an old grandmother in VA. Love
+webbsway So thankful that you took the time to watch the video! Sending you love and light!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I've been looking for a pattern like this for a while. Easy to do and look amazing ❤️
Lovely and easy to make, I made it with some white and silver wool, looks really nice with a size 4 hook. Great job. Thank you
Made four of these last night for my coworkers’ holiday gifts. So easy and really cute! Thanks for the great pattern!
That's awesome!
thank you so much for this!! Ive been searching for a quick but beautiful ornament to make to send to family! This fit the bill perfectly!
I've made so many snowflakes for ornaments. They are so beautiful. I'm very happy I found your tutorial. Thank you so much. I'll never make make a different one again❤
Thank you for these beautiful and easy-to-crochet little snowflakes, Chandi. I am making a bunch of them to give to neighbors, family, and friends. You have such delicate and lovely hands and a very graceful crocheting style. I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks again. xoxox
Thank you for the step by step instruction! Once you get a few of these under your belt, you can produce them rather quickly by memory. These are going to make a beautiful garland for our tree. I love your idea of adding some glitter too!
You're so very welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed making them!
Thank you very much for this really nice tutorial, now I have a super cute snowflake to hang in my christmas tree in Switzerland :)
love this snowflake pattern as it looks like an adorned 6 pointed star like the Jewish Star of David and we use it as a Hanukkah symbol. Thank you for the pattern and the great way to start the magic ring. I have just the blue and white yarn to make them with. Joy in these trying times is just what we need. Thank you and G-d Bless you all.
❤️❤️ I'm so glad you like it! I hope you have a lovely day.
I enjoyed learning how to crochet with your tutorial. I am a beginner and you explained what to do and how to do each stage very clearly and it worked out well. Happy Christmas.
Beautiful snowflake! I'm a beginner and it was easy to follow! Thank you for the video!!!
Love the way you do your tutorials so nice you go slow and fast enough for me to follow and love this it is so easy Thanks going to use as gift tags on presents. I certainly subscribed want to learn more
Thankful how simple and clearly explained this was!
It’s been a good decade since I last crocheted any goodies 🤍
Glad it was helpful! 💕
I have done a heap now, they are the cutest, will make them all year as xmas gifts.
Thanks for a great simple design. I made about 15 of these in white and pasted on a wine bottle that I had colored red... The result is beautiful. Thanks again
That sounds lovely!~ Thank you!
Just ran across you...love this! I have been surfing around trying to find SIMPLE , SMALL pointy snowflakes ... love it! Thank you!
I made these in white sparkly scrubby yarn from Hobby Lobby and they turned out beautiful!! I even tucked a few in Christmas cards. Thank you for pattern.
Love it! Thank you!
I love this! Its really easy to follow and I was surprised on how nice the resukt was after just following this tutorial once. ❤
Thank you for making this video. I am not so great at crochet yet, so having simple slip and double stitches helps soooo much!
Nice! Glad you like!
Love this! I made some of these with a thicker cotton blend yarn and they turned out great 👍
They are so lovely. I'll give one to every present.
❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful snowflake! Just perfect & easy!
I just made this as a motif for a stocking I made. I used thread. It looks really good. Thank u!
what a gorgeous litle snowflake, i love making these for friends and families christmas trees etc
Omg!!! I love crocheting, I like doing big complex projects but I found so much joy in doing this simple cute snowflake! Thank you for being easy to follow too!!
Wonderful! Thank you!
Love your voice I will be trying this for gifts this year thank you for the video.
Best video and great explanation. I made “tons” of this snowfkacnes, thank you.
I tried a bunch of different snowflake patterns, and this one is the BEST as well as being one of the easiest! The slip stitches in round 3 across the double crochets add structure and rigidity, so that even if you don't block or stiffen it, the snowflake keeps its shape beautifully! Very clever design!
❄️💕
I'm loving the watery painting on your desk.
+Mikalaio Thank you.
I've just come across your tutorial tonight as I searched christmas decorations
This was so easy to follow and one of the best tutorial for a snowflake
Thank you 😊
I'm so glad! And awesome that you found us 💙
Thank you for your lovely voice and simple instructions! This makes my whole Christmas project easy.
You are so welcome!
This was great! I've already planned to make a bunch of little knitted Christmas balls for next year, but I think I'll make some of these, too!
I used cream colored crochet thread number ten to make one and it looks super pretty!🤗💝
You sweetheart! My Girl Scouts are over the moon with pride, for making your easy snowflake. Thank you.
+patricia chandler You are welcome! : )
I’m going to do this for Christmas next yr and I’ll make extras to embellish some hats!
❤️❤️
I only have done crochet last when i was a kid, and i'm learning by doing step by step, and your video is the forst i didnt had any problems to follow, even though i dont speak very well english. Thank you very much and i'm excidet to learn more from you!💜
Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for a small snowflake pattern to make some Christmas gifts. Easy to follow and beautiful. You are awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this snowflake tutorial. Your instructions were clear, concise, and so easy to follow! The snowflakes look so much more complicated then they really are and your right- they do work up fast. I am using #3 cotton and a size "E" hook and they are coming out perfectly!
Yay! Thanks!
Out of all the video's about crocheted snowflakes I just love this one the best!!! I tried making 3 other snowflakes and I found myself going back to this one. I'm using Vanna White's Vanna's Glamour, Lion Brand,the color is Diamond,a small white strand yarn with silver thread running through it. It makes beautiful sparkley snowflakes. I'm going to make some in the Platinum color also. I bought the yarn at Joann's for $5.99,it was not on sale. I'm going to make lots of them and sale them at our Craft Fair in Nov. Thank you...love your video's
Thank you so much for this tutorial and for not adding music! It helped me focus!
You're so welcome! Enjoy making more snowflakes. 💕
so easy and simple! thank you, because now i know i’ll be making a million of these for family
You're very welcome! Have fun!
Just so beautiful. Very nicely done, and thank you so much for the wonderful instructions. ❤
Thank you so much, they are beautiful and easy. Happy Holidays! Great tutorial.
