On the third day of Christmas Young Wifey shared with me her Crocheted Snowflake Ornaments, Wine Glass Charms and Glass Globe Ornaments…
Crocheted snowflake ornaments are a staple for classic Christmas decor. They look great many different sizes and patterns. For a white Christmas, string them on the tree. Add them to a wreath for a whimsical touch. Hang then from the windows at varying heights, keep them up all winter for a snowscape.
I reminded of crocheted snowflake ornaments while browsing the internet. I can’t remember who exactly, but I remember seeing them on someone’s tree when I was younger. I tried to follow a few different patterns (I found online), without success. British crochet patterns have different terminology than U.S. crochet patterns and even knowing the conversions (if you will), I still seem to slip up every so often… I changed my yarn, thread and hook, still no success. Just like I can’t seem to follow recipes, I can’t seem to follow patterns. Sometimes creative genius feels more like undiagnosed ADHD. I tore apart each attempt and just made what my heart desired…
Crocheted Snowflake Ornaments
I used a 4 ply worsted white cotton yarn with my US G6 Hook. Then I used size 5 thread in white/pearl (it has glitter flecks all through the thread) with a 1.65MM hook.
How To:
To Start: chain 6, sl st to join
Row 1: 1 sc, chain 5, repeat 5 more times, sl st to join
Row 2: 1 sc in first chain, chain 5, skip 1, 1 sc, chain 5, 1 sc in same stitch, chain 5, skip 1 stitch, 1 sc, skip 1 stitch and repeat 5 times, sl st to close
Block snowflakes and spray with fabric starch. Once dry to can attach a thin satin ribbon to a corner of the snowflake)
Approx. Cost:
1 skein of yard of thread = less than $4, 1 spool of ribbon = $1, for about than 5-at under 10¢ each this is an ornament you can’t pass up!

As a tip, if you’ve done the ornament with the thread and you feel like it is too floppy, you can make a sugar starch or buy a fabric stiffener at a craft store that you can use to soak and shape your snowflake. Then after it’s dry it should hold its shape instead of being floppy.
Oh I totally missed where you said you can use a fabric starch spray. =D
🙂 Soaking it sounds like a good idea too. I spray it once, let it dry and sprayed it again, it was too easy just to spray it. 🙂
I love these, very classy!
Thanks, I thought so too!
Those snowflake ornaments are so pretty! I’ll need to try making those sometime!
Thanks Nancy, and these ones are so easy!
