Gratuitous Snowflake

Christmas may be over...well not quite. For some of us it lasts until Epiphany on January 6, but I digress. Whether you celebrate Christmas for one day or 12 or not at all, it's winter for all of us in the northern hemisphere. So let it snow!

This is one pattern from a set of 7 by MyPicot.com. The pattern set is available on Ravelry. These are BIG snowflakes. The one above measures over 9 inches across so you won't need many to hook your own personal blizzard.

I highly recommend MyPicot as a source for both crochet and knitting stitch patterns and motifs. Some are for sale, but many are free. I especially love the gorgeous flowers and butterflies. There are also several tutorials and instructions on how to read crochet stitch diagrams. This web site is well worth having in your virtual crochet library.

    This is the only snow I've seen so far this season, and I wouldn't mind if it stayed that way! Yours is much prettier than what piles up outside too.

      That's no fun! I need to run around in the snow once in a while. I agree about piles of dirty snow in the street though.

    If you like crochet snowflakes, check out my buddy Snowcatcher's blog. She posts a new snowflake every week and never seems to run out of ideas!

    MyPicot is an amazing site.

    Shall have to message you soon - got a tea question. :)
