Another Simple snowflake















I tried to block this one with spray starch and it didn't work out very well. the picture is lousy, but I think the general idea is there. This pattern is suitable for a beginner.


I used size 3 thread and a C hook. My flake is about 4 inches from point to point.


Stitches used:

ch chain

ss slip stitch

dc double crochet

tc triple crochet


Ch 5, join with ss to form a ring.

Round 1: Ch 3, dc into ring, ch 2, *2 dc into ring, ch 2*, Repeat from * to* 4 more times, join to top of first ch3. (You should have 12 dc and 6 ch 2 spaces.)

Round 2: Ss to first ch 2 space, ch 3, dc, ch2, tc, ch2, 2 dc all into first ch 2 space, in each of the other ch 2 spaces work the following: 2dc, ch2, 1 tc, ch2, 2dc. Join to top of first ch 3.

Round 3: ss to first ch 2 space, *Ch 7, ss into fourth ch from hook, ch 4, ss into next ch 2 space. Ss in next 2 DC. Ss in space between the next 2 DC and ch 3, join with ss to same space. SS in next 2 dc and into next ch 2 sp.*, repeat from * to* until you get back to the beginning.

Finish off. Stiffen and block.



Pattern is untested, except by myself. Please let me know if something is unclear, or you find a mistake.

Double Flower Bookmark


Supplies:

Size 3 thread

C hook

Stitches used:

Hdc (half double crochet)

DC (double crochet)

Ss (slip stitch)

SC (single crochet)

Ch (chain)

Gauge: doesn’t apply. You can use whatever thread and hook you wish. The finished bookmark may be a little smaller or larger

Directions:

Bottom motif:

Chain 4, join with ss to form a ring.

Round 1: ch 1, (all following stitches are worked into the ring formed by the chain 4 loop), **sc, ch 3** repeat from ** to ** 5 more times, join to beginning sc

(motif is finished) You should have 6 chain 3 loops.

Next ch 60 ( for bookmark part) Try to chain fairly tightly and evenly. This part can be made longer or shorter to make the length you want.

Begin top motif:

SS into 4th chain from hook to form a ring.

Round 1: Repeat round 1 of bottom motif.

Round 2: SS to first chain 3 loop. Into each chain 3 loop work the following: SC, HDC, 2 DC, hdc, sc. (When you get to where the chain joins the motif, just work across the front of it.) to end ss into the first sc of the round.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Super Simple Crocheted Snowflake









This snowflake is very easy and can be worked up in just a few minutes. It is shaped somewhat like a 6 sided star.

I used Lustersheen and a size C hook. (I couldn’t find any white size 3 thread, which is what I wanted to try this with.)

Stitches used:

Ch (chain)

Dc (double crochet)

Sc (single crochet)

Ss (slip stitch)

Directions:

Chain 4, join with ss to form a ring.

Round 1:

Ch5, (counts as DC and ch 2) ** 2 dc into ring, ch 2**, repeat from ** to ** 4 more times, Dc into ring, join to 3rd ch of beginning chain. You should have 6 chain 2 spaces.

Round 2:

Ch 3 (counts as first Dc), dc into next dc, ** ch 2, Dc into next ch 2 space, ch 2, DC in each of the next 2 DC**, repeat from ** to ** 4 more times, ch 2, join to top of beginning ch 3. (you should have 12 ch 2 spaces)

Round 3:

Ch 1, sc in same stitch, sc into next DC, ** sc into next ch 2 space, ch 5, sc into next ch 2 space, sc into next 2 dc** repeat from ** to ** 4 more times, sc into next ch 2 space, ch 5, sc into last ch 2 space, join with ss into top of beginning sc (you should have 6 ch 5 spaces)

Round 4:

**Ss to ch 5 space,

Into the chain 5 space work the following stitches:

Sc, ch 2, sc, ch 3, sc, ch 4, sc, ch3, sc ch2, sc**

Repeat around. Join to beginning ss and fasen off.

Shape and block as desired.
