To make the Snowflake Motif ~

 

These instructions use UK terminology

 

Use a medium weight yarn. I made these with DK yarn and a 4mm hook.

 

Chain 3 stitches and join with a slip stitch into a circle.

 

Chain 1, then make 5 double crochet stitches into the circle. Join with a slip stitch. (6sts)

 

Chain 5, then make 3 trebles and chain 2 into next 5 stitches, make 2 trebles in last stitch and join to first 5 chain with a slip stitch.

 

 

 

Chain 2, then (make 2 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into the first chain space, then (make 3 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into each chain space all around. Join with a slip  stitch.



 

 

To make an edging ( if desired) ~ in the same or a contrasting colour

 

Double crochet all around.

 

 



 

 

To make a hanging cord ( if desired) ~ chain 30. Attach to the motif.

 

 

 

Have fun .....
