The materials for making snowflakes are quite portable, and they are so fun to make, that I've made some more! Four of them are the same (some of the ones I will be giving away), one is another repeat, but the others are new patterns. So fun!
First, the four of a kind, with the chart found at http://stylowi.pl/15848121:
Next, I have 4 snowflakes from a Martha Stewart site :
The Martha Stewart site is sort of confusing, as it shows a picture of all the snowflakes, then has steps 1-5. Step 1 is the overall directions of making, stiffening and pinning the snowflakes. Steps 2-5 are instructions for the individual snowflakes, all mooched together in one paragraph. I copied pasted onto a Word document and put spaces between the rows. The "feather" flake was easy, but a pain to pin. All of them were fairly easy patterns.
Then one I have to find the pattern for... Book, "Our Best Christmas Thread Crochet", #31...
Then the last one is from a site with seven snowflake patterns. Mine is #7. Super easy pattern, with a lot of loops, and you just pin it to get the angles. I think it's pretty cute. My changes to the pattern: Instead of starting with a chain of 8 and then 18 dc (2sc counting as a
dc), I did a 6 chain ring and did 12 dc in the chain. Then just do the next
row "in the next stitch." Couldn't figure out what she meant by skip
the next space...
