Snowflake Monday


I had a few requests for the pattern for the rocks I made using last week's Reimagined Snowflake pattern. So I made a few more covered rocks and wrote the pattern.

Of course, I had to create a new snowflake from the mandala-shape covering these rocks. I've enjoyed hiding Easter eggs in previous patterns when I update them. You don't have to wait until next spring for this gem.

You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!


Finished Size: snowflake - 6.5 inches from point to point
Materials: Size 10 crochet thread, size 7 crochet hook, smooth round rock
