beautiful! We have some of those hung on our Christmas tree each year.
ReplyDeleteSuch intricate work. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAw, that is one cute flake!
ReplyDeleteCute flake :)
ReplyDeleteLovly! I was never good at doing this, I had a hard time creating a circle, they always looked like an egg in shape. Short and wide. :(
ReplyDeleteOK, now I know where the blog name comes from. very cool
ReplyDeleteOh petite sounds right up my alley! :) I keep looking at the thread and the hook, the thread seems so thin I worry it will be tiny. I crocheted just a string and it was so thin, I'm scared to try, lol.
ReplyDeleteDeborah, I'll be making a lot of this one! Thank you! Barb
ReplyDeleteVery pretty design! Intricate appearing but easy to do! I used Caron Simply Soft and a 3.5 hook, which made a snowflake about 3" wide. Thanks for sharing this pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks, vlpw! I'll bet it does look nice in Simply Soft. I bet you could make a bunch of them and join them together for a bigger project!
ReplyDeleteJust found your beautiful snowflakes! I did this one on an I hook with bulky yarn to sew onto a hat. It looks great in the heavy weight too, thanks so much for sharing your lovely patterns!
ReplyDeleteWow, Sara, I would LOVE to see a photo of your hat! I'll bet it turned out great! I've been wanting to do that very same thing and something similar for a couple of years now and just haven't gotten around to it yet. You've inspired me!
