Learn how to crochet these darling snowflake ornaments! They look much more complicated than they really are. Only 5 rounds. Quite easy and they are a breeze to whip up! Make them for gifts, attach them to other gifts or simply crochet some up for friends and family. Finish them by starching them and then attach a monofilament (fishing line) hanger to hang from your Christmas tree. Enjoy!
For these, I recommend using size 10 crochet thread and a size 7 (1.65mm) crochet hook. Sorry if the written instructions are difficult to read or not standardized. I am not a pattern writer.
