Crochet Christmas Snowflake Ornaments
The Crochet Christmas Snowflake Ornaments are a delicate and charming DIY project that adds a touch of winter wonder to your holiday decor! By crocheting intricate snowflake patterns with white or cream-colored yarn, you can create beautiful, lace-like ornaments that resemble delicate snowflakes. These ornaments can be personalized with glitter, beads, or other embellishments, and hung on the tree, used as gift toppers, or added to a window or garland for a whimsical touch.
Hook — 4mm
Yarn
I used Cotton DK from my stash. Any DK yarn will do although I think cotton looks best. This is a great stash buster too!
So for the ornaments in the picture we just need a Red and White yarn, but as always use whatever colours you like! I have some gold and silver lame which I am going to try next!
