Crochet Pattern: Mulled Wine Snowflake


2. Mulled Wine Snowflake

Snowflake number two is written up! It's possible that I will say this about all of the snowflakes, but I think this one is my favourite.

My extremely poor photography skills don't do it justice really but the triple picots at the end give it a nice snowflake explosion kind of feel. If you know what I mean. (I'm not actually sure I know what I mean by that.)

The triple picots can be a bit tricky to get the hang of, so I intend to do a little photo guide for the blog soon. If only that pesky work didn't take so much of my crochet time up!

The pattern can be found here. As always let me know of any queries with the pattern or if there are any errors.

Happy snowflake-ing!

Crochet Snowflake Pattern

Snowflake diameter about 5 inches.

1. All the Trimmings Snowflake

I first came across crochet snowflakes last Christmas and it was love at first sight.

I searched for patterns but couldn't find exactly what I was after, so I decided they were the perfect opportunity to stop chatting about designing, and start designing!

Inevitably, there were a few (many) false starts. But after I'd managed to figure out a couple of simple snowflake-ish designs, it was all systems go.

I've now made ten snowflake designs so far and I will be sharing them with you as I check, tweak and write up the patterns.

I've named them all after my favourite things about Christmas. And as a vegetarian, all the trimmings are definitely way up on that list.

The pattern can be downloaded as a pdf from my Google Drive. It's the first time I'm using this so I hope it works ok!

If there are any problems with the pattern or any questions etc. just let me know and I will try to help.

Happy snowflake-ing!
