Crocheted Snowflake Ornament Pattern

Traditionally, crocheted snowflakes are made with thread and a tiny hook. Mine are made with yarn and a larger hook. Thread snowflakes can be amazing in their detail. They can be really pretty to hang on your tree. The problem is I don’t love working with thread on projects like that. I also don’t love the blocking and stiffening involved in making them perfect. I made several one year for Christmas and I loved the way they turned out but I definitely wouldn’t want to make a ton of them. My solution: Christmas crochet snowflakes with yarn rather than thread. They don’t necessarily have the same kind of detail but they still look pretty and work up a lot faster.

Because these snowflakes are a really quick project, they really only took minutes to make, you can make a whole bunch of them. Give them as gifts on their own, add them to a larger gift to decorate the package, or make a bunch to sell at a Christmas craft fair. I used mine to decorate gift bags.

Christmas crochet snowflake supplies:

  • White yarn- All Things You Worsted will work
  • G Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle
  • Scissors
  • Darice Baker’s Twine
  • Wrapping Materials (gift bags, tissue paper, etc. – optional)

The crochet snowflake can be made out of a variety of yarns. I used both Darice Silky Soft and All Things You worsted weight. The pictures show the Silky Soft snowflake which was smaller that the other. I used the same hook for both but if you were to make a smaller version with a thinner yarn, like baby yarn, you would need to go down a few sizes and the snowflake will be smaller.

Begin with a magic ring

Round 1: in mr, ch 2, 12 dc, slip stitch to first dc to join

Round 2: [ch 5, skip 1, slip stitch in the next stitch) repeat around, slip stitch to the beginning of the round

Round 3: [3 sc in ch loop, ch 4, slip stitch to first ch, 3 dc in ch loop, ch 2, slip stitch to first stitch] repeat around

Finish off, cut yarn and weave in ends

Tie a piece of baker’s twine or other thread to the top of the ornament.

To add my snowflakes to the package I cut some round cardstock in Christmas colors and then embossed it. Then I pulled the hanging loop through the whole in the tag and tied it to the handle of a gift bag.

I thought these Christmas crochet ornaments would look nice hanging on the front of a plain gift bag, just a simple way to dress it up a little bit. Then in addition to the gift inside the bag you get an ornament to hang on the tree. I cut out a circle shaped tag out of cardstock in a contrasting color to hang behind the snowflake to add some more color and then tied them onto the handle of the bag.

They would also be great to make in large quantities to give as a small gifts for neighbors just by themselves or to hang on your own tree. Have fun making some of your own!
