SNOWFLAKES HOOK - as decoration of the New Year's table.

Here's an idea crochet Christmas candlesticks I found ... and immediately I wanted to knit such a snowflake for this upcoming new year.

But really there is nothing complicated. You must first tie a ring of air loops ... then tie it with double crochets (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the round). And in the last row, you need to make so many columns - so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMN SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in a repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for a snowflake petal that repeats every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last PATTERN should be a multiple of ten (for example, 60 to create 6 petals or 70 to create 7 petals). Thanks to this, we can safely start our pattern - and we will be sure that all the petals will fit in a circle without tightness and extra holes.

The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals... and the pattern of each petal is placed on the 5 columns of the bottom row ... This means that in the circular PATTERN ROW we will have to bring the total number of columns in the circle to 40 (because 8 times 5 is 40) - and only after that we can safely start the pattern.

Also in the decoration of the festive table, crocheted snowflakes can serve as napkins or stands under the legs of glass goblets.

You can also decorate a table napkin ring with a knitted snowflake. The ring itself can be cut from a strip of fabric (or regular tape).

You can crochet a lot of snowflakes according to any convenient and quick pattern - and connect all the snowflakes to each other with rays (just sewing threads). It will turn out a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can do it for table decor elegant hearts with lace ruffles, bows and crocheted snowflake appliqués.

And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful Christmas lamp. The first idea (this is a bag of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We paste over such a paper cone with knitted snowflake napkins ... plug the garland into a socket and look at the beautiful glowing lace.

And the second candlestick is made simply from a tall glass, lace, and crochet snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass it is convenient to use SPAGHETTI PASTA. They burn perfectly - we light a long spaghetti and lower such a “torch” into a glass to the candle wick.

KNITTED SNOWFLAKES-NAPKINS

- as a decoration for a gift.

If you have prepared small presents for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it will be good to put them in such jars decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing cute and useful little things in it.

Such a crochet snowflake is simply glued to the wall of the jar with a glue gun.

Also, as New Year's gifts, jars of homemade jam according to grandma's family recipes can be used ... or delicious pickles from a hospitable mother-in-law. H to make jars look like New Year's presents their lids can be decorated, supplemented with such an elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.

SNOWFLAKES crochet

to decorate the Christmas tree.

And you can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree with snowflakes. You can crochet many identical snowflakes - in the same style according to the same pattern. The colors red and white look beautiful - bright and festive.

And in general, the New Year in red style is beautiful. On our website there is a separate article devoted to just such a color choice in the decor of the holiday. RED New Year - 64 photos (decor, crafts, Christmas trees).

You can show your imagination and make crochet snowflake crafts with original intent. Here's how it is here - not just a snowflake is knitted, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or snowflakes like binding round pieces of postcard.

You can also crochet a snowflake connect with felt base- and we get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background for a white snowflake.

Can inscribe a snowflake in a metal ring and decorate the Christmas tree (or turn it into jewelry). Metal rings can be bought in the sewing section of the store (the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).

DECOR OF NEW YEAR'S CARDS with your own hands

knitted snowflakes.

Often we want to not just say warm greetings out loud ... but we want our holiday wishes to remain in the form of text on a card. Then the creative work of our caring hands will help to add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped soulless postcards from the store with sincere words - it is better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any scheme, thin threads and a small hook will help us create a miniature openwork snowflake - which will look gentle on the surface of a New Year's card.

Snowflake can just stick on(glue stick) ... Or a snowflake can be in put in a through frame-hole cut out in a postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a “window” and not glue the snowflake, but tie it to the postcard for these holes.

Or you can just hang a snowflake on a postcard on a string.

Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes

or tree branches

New Year's holiday is primarily a Christmas tree. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small desktop Christmas tree - then enough for two skeins of thread for tying it with snowflakes.

Or if instead of a Christmas tree you have only a small composition of spruce branches hanging on the door or wall. That, too, from spruce paws, a golden ribbon and crochet snowflakes.

Snowflakes can also decorate a flat fake Christmas tree on the wall. How to make such a Christmas tree from a garland is quite understandable. We simply glue double-sided tape on the wall (silhouette in the shape of a Christmas tree) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get Christmas tree outline on the wall- and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the ropes. If the wall is wooden and you don’t feel sorry for it, then you can stuff small carnations and fasten a garland and snowflakes for them.

Or if you don’t feel sorry for the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland for a Christmas tree.

You can crochet from snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (similar to icicles of ice) and silver birds will serve as an addition to the decor.

Knitted snowflakes can hang ladders from rungs... or fix on the ceiling beam (so that they hang beautifully over the New Year's table).

Garland of crocheted snowflakes.

Snowflakes can be knitted from colored threads and hung on a string above the fireplace... or along the doorway... or along the top cabinet in the kitchen (handy if the cabinet doors move up).

White snowflakes of the same design look good (that is, crocheted according to the same pattern). Such a garland can be fixed just like that on the wall.

And you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to schemes with different patterns and different sizes. It also turns out to be a magical decoration for the New Year holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes in style matches the overall color design of the interior.

Or you can crochet snowflakes on the curtain rod - each on its own twine (as in the photo below).

Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.

SNOWFLAKES in decoration

decorative pendants.

Crocheted openwork beauties can be arranged into a one-piece pendant design. Here are two models of such a snowflake.
MODEL #1 - We knit snowflakes in three sizes - large, medium and small. And we string them on a thread - first a large one, then a few crystal beads ... medium ... more beads and a small one.

MODEL #2 - we take a metal ring (you can bend it from a wire) and tie it with hooks with simple single crochets (try it - it's easy - we hook the thread under the edge of the ring and knit a column, as usual). The number of columns on the ring must be adjusted to such a number - so that it is a multiple of the rapport (the size of the repeating pattern - the size of the snowflake petal).

Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the go ... and then it is only important that the total number of columns is divisible by six.

And then we knit another snowflake with a crochet - the size is such that it fits inside the ring.

And you can fit a ready-made snowflake into the ring (photo below)- pull its rays to the ring and secure with threads. These rings with crochet snowflakes can be hung on the window. Or in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.

And knitted snowflakes can be attached to a hair hoop - and we will get a beautiful kokoshnik crown for the Snow Maiden for a matinee in kindergarten.

The hoop must first be wrapped with a white ribbon ... and as it is wound, the ribbon must be secured with a thread with a needle (so that the layers of the ribbon do not slip off) - and then hard starched (or candied) knitted snowflakes are sewn to this ribbon.

Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie just crocheting under the hoop) - and then on the scallop of these columns, immediately begin to knit the RAYS of one large snowflake. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake pattern. The scheme for tying such a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden you can take from any snowflake scheme... And just increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.

SCHEMES FOR KNITTING SNOWFLAKES HOOK.

Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes its own pattern of only THREE ELEMENTS ... air loop ... single crochet ... single crochet (or two).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS - then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKES - according to ANY SCHEME.

All these different snowflakes(from the photo above) fit too with the help of THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only airs ... only single crochets ... and only double crochets.
And the pattern is different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.

Like the alternation of notes in music. There are only 7 pieces of notes - and the music is new every time.

Therefore, snowflakes are CONVENIENT TO COMPOSE... just knit in a circle ... and come up with a pattern on the go. All that is needed is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASIC CIRCLE to such a number of columns in a circle - so that it is a MULTIPLE number of rays (that is, divided by the number of rays without a trace) ....
For example six-ray snowflakes- the number of loops in the base circle (round-middle) should be 18 ... or 24 ... or 30 ... or 36 ... or 42 ... or 48 ... and so on. That is, the number of columns in the circle must be divisible by 6.

HOW TO DRY snowflakes.

(and how to make them hard - 3 ways)

And another main secret - after knitting snowflakes they need to be shaped. To make them hard and stale. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.

First way. Starch and dry flat. D we make a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tbsp of cold water.

Moisten the snowflake with a starch solution and flattened on a piece of cardboard- and so that the snowflake stretches well, stuck pins- so that the snowflake stretches and does not shrink back - but dries up in such a straightened form. Then it will keep its solid form, hardened by starch.

The second way. Candy the snowflake. We make sugar syrup - 16 tablespoons of sugar for 1 glass of water - put everything on fire so that the sugar dissolves. Immerse the snowflake in the syrup. We take it out and put it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - we level the snowflake, we fix it with pins.

The third way. Soak with gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And we prepare the solution according to the instructions on the bag (soak, then heat until the gelatin dissolves - and immerse the snowflake in the gelatin syrup ... or apply the syrup on the snowflake with a brush.

HOW TO CONNECT A SNOWFLAKE WITH A HOOK.

Schemes and a master class in a simple pattern.

KNITTING THE SNOWFLAKES starts FROM THE MIDDLE ... from the center ... and gradually row after row - round after round the snowflake is overgrown with lacy petals.

What does this process look like? very clearly seen from the master class below... Here it is shown how a snowflake is crocheted according to the pattern. By the way, these are perhaps the fastest snowflakes in knitting - and they keep their shape well even without starching- because they have very clear contour with MULTIPLE piping.

IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or crochet lace, then you can understand the knitting pattern of a snowflake without patterns - JUST FROM THE PHOTO.
After all, not even relatively small photos clearly show all the air loops, single crochets and double crochets. Just bring the snowflake to the printer (you can pre-enlarge the photo) and knit from such a photo sample.

Well, if you are a beginner crochet lace crafter, then here are some pretty simple snowflake patterns for you.

SCHEMES OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.

Snowflake with cones. The bump is easy to create (a lot of crochet is made - but all the crochets are knitted in one loop at once).

And here are a few more diagrams ... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurry and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.

Scheme for OPENWORK snowflakes.

And here is beautiful crochet openwork copy of a snowflake. Beautiful holes and neat pipettes along the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned knitting, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The scheme is attached - all the same familiar AIR ... single crochet ... double crochet ... and that's it. Nothing new - just alternations and quantity.

These are such beautiful ideas ... if I still find a beautiful diagram ... or a diagram that inspires me so much that it’s not too lazy to draw it by hand - I will post it in this article below.

In the meantime, for today this is all the treasures of my piggy bank.
Use with pleasure.
Happiness and good luck to you in the New Year.
Let bright thoughts be strong and bring good events and good people to your home.

White lace beauties on the green paws of the Christmas tree, surrounded by the same white Christmas decorations - such a Christmas tree looks like a smartly dressed young lady.

And it doesn’t matter at all whether snowflakes decorate a real three-dimensional Christmas tree, or just its stylistic image on the wall.

Knitted snowflakes and the best crochet patterns
To tie a snowflake yourself, you do not need to masterfully master the crochet hook. Everyone who has ever held a hook in their hands knows how to knit air loops, single crochet and double crochet. Any crochet creation consists of these three elements, and absolutely all crochet snowflakes consist of them.







HOW TO DRY snowflakes.

(and how to make them hard - 3 ways)

And another main secret - after knitting snowflakes, they need to be shaped. To make them hard and stale. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.

First way. Starch and dry flat. We make a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tbsp of cold water.

We moistened the snowflake with a starch solution and leveled it on a sheet of cardboard - and so that the snowflake stretched well, they stuck pins - so that the snowflake stretched and did not shrink back - but dried out in such a straightened form. Then it will keep its solid form, hardened by starch.

The second way. Sugar the snowflake. We make sugar syrup - 16 tablespoons of sugar for 1 glass of water - put everything on fire so that the sugar dissolves. Immerse the snowflake in the syrup. We take it out and put it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - we level the snowflake, we fix it with pins.

The third way. Soak with gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And we prepare the solution according to the instructions on the bag (soak, then heat until the gelatin dissolves - and immerse the snowflake in the gelatin syrup ... or apply the syrup on the snowflake with a brush.

HOW TO CONNECT A SNOWFLAKE WITH A HOOK.

Schemes and a master class in a simple pattern.

KNITTING THE SNOWFLAKES starts FROM THE MIDDLE ... from the center ... and gradually row after row - round after round the snowflake is overgrown with lacy petals.

How this process looks like is very clearly visible from the master class below ... Here it is shown how a snowflake is crocheted according to the pattern. By the way, these are perhaps the fastest snowflakes in knitting - and they keep their shape well even without starching - due to the fact that they have a very clear contour with MULTI-ROW binding.

IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or lace with a crochet, then you can understand the knitting pattern of a snowflake without patterns - JUST FROM THE PHOTO.
After all, not even relatively small photos clearly show all the air loops, single crochets and double crochets. Just bring the snowflake to the printer (you can pre-enlarge the photo) and knit from such a photo sample.

Well, if you are a beginner crochet lace crafter, then here are some pretty simple snowflake patterns for you.

SCHEMES OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.

Snowflake with cones. The bump is easy to create (a lot of crochet is made - but all the crochets are knitted in one loop at once).

And here are a few more diagrams ... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurry and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.

Good afternoon - today I'm unloading BIGGEST article on ideas-crafts from knitted snowflakes. Today you will not just learn how to crochet snowflakes from scratch ... and I will not just give you patterns for doily snowflakes. You'll get HUGE CHARGE of inspiration. Because you will see HOW knitted snowflakes can be used to decorate the New Year's holiday.

That's what we'll do

  1. Candlesticks and napkins from knitted snowflakes.
  2. Snowflake pendants(frame, with beads, on the frame)
  3. Christmas tree decorations with crocheted snowflakes.
  4. Snowflakes to decorate the New Year's table(tablecloths, coasters, ring)
  5. Crocheted snowflakes - applications for New Year's cards.
  6. Snowflake garlands crochet for interior decoration.
  7. Using snowflakes on Christmas wreaths.

So, there will be many interesting ideas. Roll your mouse wheel and dive into this festive world of snowflake knitting.

HOOK SNOWFLAKES - as a decoration for the New Year's table.

Here's an idea crochet Christmas candlesticks I found ... and immediately I wanted to knit such a snowflake for this upcoming new year.

But really there is nothing complicated. You must first tie a ring of air loops ... then tie it with double crochets (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the round). And in the last row, you need to make so many columns - so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMN SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in a repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for a snowflake petal that repeats every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last PATTERN should be a multiple of ten (for example, 60 to create 6 petals or 70 to create 7 petals). Thanks to this, we can boldly start our pattern - and we will be sure that all the petals will fit in a circle without tightness and extra holes.

The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals... and the pattern of each petal is placed on the 5 columns of the bottom row ... This means that in the circular PATTERN ROW we will have to bring the total number of columns in the circle to 40 (because 8 times 5 is 40) - and only after that we can safely start the pattern.

Also in the decoration of the festive table, crocheted snowflakes can serve as napkins or stands under the legs of glass goblets.

You can also decorate a table napkin ring with a knitted snowflake. The ring itself can be cut from a strip of fabric (or regular tape).

You can crochet a lot of snowflakes according to any convenient and quick pattern - and connect all the snowflakes to each other with rays (just sewing threads). It will turn out a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can do it for table decor elegant hearts with lace ruffles, bows and crocheted snowflake appliqués.

And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful Christmas lamp. The first idea (this is a bag of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We paste over such a paper cone with knitted snowflake napkins ... plug the garland into a socket and look at the beautiful glowing lace.


And the second candlestick is made simply from a tall glass, lace, and crochet snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass it is convenient to use SPAGHETTI PASTA. They burn perfectly - we light a long spaghetti and lower such a “torch” into a glass to the candle wick.

KNITTED SNOWFLAKES-NAPKINS

- as a decor for a gift.

If you have prepared small presents for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it will be good to put them in such jars decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing cute and useful little things in it.

Such a crochet snowflake is simply glued to the wall of the jar with a glue gun.

Also, as New Year's gifts, jars of homemade jam according to grandma's family recipes can be used ... or delicious pickles from a hospitable mother-in-law. H to make jars look like New Year's presents their lids can be decorated, supplemented with such an elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.

SNOWFLAKES crochet

to decorate the Christmas tree.

And you can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree with snowflakes. You can crochet many identical snowflakes - in the same style according to the same pattern. The colors red and white look beautiful - bright and festive.

And in general, the New Year in red style is beautiful. On our website there is a separate article devoted to just such a color choice in the decor of the holiday.

You can show your imagination and make crochet snowflake crafts with original intent. Here's how it is here - not just a snowflake is knitted, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or snowflakes like binding round pieces of postcard.

You can also crochet a snowflake connect with felt base- and we get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background for a white snowflake.

Can inscribe a snowflake in a metal ring and decorate the Christmas tree (or turn it into jewelry). Metal rings can be bought in the sewing section of the store (the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).

DECOR OF NEW YEAR'S CARDS with your own hands

knitted snowflakes.

Often we want to not just say warm greetings out loud ... but we want our holiday wishes to remain in the form of text on a card. Then the creative work of our caring hands will help to add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped soulless postcards from the store with sincere words - it is better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any scheme, thin threads and a small hook will help us create a miniature openwork snowflake - which will look gentle on the surface of a New Year's card.


Snowflake can just stick on(glue stick) ... Or a snowflake can be in put in a through frame-hole cut out in a postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a “window” and not glue the snowflake, but tie it to the postcard for these holes.

Or you can just hang a snowflake on a postcard on a string.

Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes

or tree branches

New Year's holiday is primarily a Christmas tree. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small desktop Christmas tree - then enough for two skeins of thread for tying it with snowflakes.

Or if instead of a Christmas tree you have only a small composition of spruce branches hanging on the door or wall. That, too, from spruce paws, a golden ribbon and crochet snowflakes.

Snowflakes can also decorate a flat fake Christmas tree on the wall. How to make such a Christmas tree from a garland is quite understandable. We simply glue double-sided tape on the wall (silhouette in the shape of a Christmas tree) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get Christmas tree outline on the wall- and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the ropes. If the wall is wooden and you don’t feel sorry for it, then you can stuff small carnations and fasten a garland and snowflakes for them.

Or if you don’t feel sorry for the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland for a Christmas tree.

You can crochet from snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (similar to icicles of ice) and silver birds will serve as an addition to the decor.

Knitted snowflakes can hang ladders from rungs... or fix on the ceiling beam (so that they hang beautifully over the New Year's table).

Garland of crocheted snowflakes.

Snowflakes can be knitted from colored threads and hung on a string above the fireplace... or along the doorway... or along the top cabinet in the kitchen (handy if the cabinet doors move up).

White snowflakes of the same design look good (that is, crocheted according to the same pattern). Such a garland can be fixed just like that on the wall.

And you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to schemes with different patterns and different sizes. It also turns out to be a magical decoration for the New Year holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes in style matches the overall color design of the interior.

Or you can crochet snowflakes on the curtain rod - each on its own twine (as in the photo below).

Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.

SNOWFLAKES in decoration

decorative pendants.

Crocheted openwork beauties can be arranged into a one-piece pendant design. Here are two models of such a snowflake.
MODEL #1 - We knit snowflakes in three sizes - large, medium and small. And we string them on a thread - first a large one, then a few crystal beads ... a medium one ... more beads and a small one.

MODEL #2 - we take a metal ring (you can bend it out of wire) and tie it with hooks with simple single crochets (try it - it's easy - we hook the thread under the edge of the ring and knit the column, as usual). The number of columns on the ring must be adjusted to such a number - so that it is a multiple of the rapport (the size of the repeating pattern - the size of the snowflake petal).

Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the go ... and then it is only important that the total number of columns is divisible by six.

And then we knit another snowflake with a crochet - the size is such that it fits inside the ring.

And you can fit a ready-made snowflake into the ring- pull its rays to the ring and secure with threads. These rings with crochet snowflakes can be hung on the window. Or in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.

And knitted snowflakes can be attached to a hair hoop - and we will get a beautiful kokoshnik crown for the Snow Maiden for a matinee in kindergarten.

The hoop must first be wrapped with a white ribbon ... and as it is wound, the ribbon must be secured with a thread with a needle (so that the layers of the ribbon do not slip off) - and then hard starched (or candied) knitted snowflakes are sewn to this ribbon.

Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie just crocheting under the hoop) - and then on the scallop of these columns, immediately begin to knit the RAYS of one large snowflake. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake pattern. The scheme for tying such a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden you can take from any snowflake scheme... And just increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.

SCHEMES FOR KNITTING SNOWFLAKES HOOK.

Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes its own pattern of only THREE ELEMENTS ... air loop ... single crochet ... single crochet (or two).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS, then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKES - according to ANY PATTERN.

All these different snowflakes(from the photo above) fit too with the help of THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only airs ... only single crochets ... and only double crochets.
And the pattern is different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.

Like the alternation of notes in music. There are only 7 pieces of notes - and the music is new every time.

Therefore, snowflakes are CONVENIENT TO COMPOSE... just knit in a circle ... and come up with a pattern on the go. All that is needed is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASIC CIRCLE to such a number of columns in a circle - so that it is a MULTIPLE number of rays (that is, divided by the number of rays without a remainder) ....
For example six-ray snowflakes- the number of loops in the base circle (round-middle) should be 18 ... or 24 ... or 30 ... or 36 ... or 42 ... or 48 ... and so on. That is, the number of columns in the circle must be divisible by 6.

HOW TO DRY snowflakes.

(and how to make them hard - 3 ways)

And another main secret - after knitting snowflakes they need to be shaped. To make them hard and stale. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.

First way. Starch and dry flat. D we make a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tbsp of cold water.

We take it out and put it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - we level the snowflake, we fix it with pins.

SCHEMES OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.

Snowflake with cones. The bump is easy to create (a lot of crochet is made - but all the crochets are knitted in one loop at once).

And here are a few more diagrams ... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurry and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.

Scheme for OPENWORK snowflakes.

And here is beautiful crochet openwork copy of a snowflake. Beautiful holes and neat pipettes along the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned knitting, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The diagram is attached - all the same familiar AIRS ... single crochet ... double crochet ... and that's it. Nothing new - only alternations and quantity.

For beginner craftswomen it will be difficult to figure out how to knit second row on the diagram above. There are long rays-arches along the edges of which loops of air are scattered. Therefore, below I give a picture with step by step description knitting this complex second row with rays.

The red dots are the loop that we “mentally memorized” (see diagram below).

These are such beautiful ideas ... if I still find a beautiful diagram ... or a diagram that inspires me so much that it’s not too lazy to draw it by hand - I will post it in this article below.

In the meantime, for today this is all the treasures of my piggy bank.
Use with pleasure.
Happiness and good luck to you in the New Year.

Hardworking - a bright light burns through life, lazy - a dim candle

Knitted snowflakes - schemes and ideas.

Do you remember the words of the song to which Cinderella waltzes with the Prince? All in a white dress like a little lacy snowflake. To the gentle music and the crystal tinkle of wonderful shoes.

Don't you remember? Well, of course, how can you hear it, no one except me knows it at all: I composed it many years ago, in my distant childhood, and performed it only in the presence of pots and pans.

But I wanted to start this article with this verse. Because unlike their snow counterparts from the song, snowflakes, which will be discussed in our article, they can and will dance in the warmth of candles. Today we are talking about knitted snowflakes. And not only we say - we will still knit them - ourselves, crocheted.

So let's get started.

We decorate the Christmas tree with knitted snowflakes.

White lace beauties on the green paws of the Christmas tree, surrounded by the same white Christmas decorations - such a Christmas tree looks like a smartly dressed young lady. And it doesn’t matter at all whether snowflakes decorate a real three-dimensional Christmas tree, or just its stylistic image on the wall. At the end of the article you will find patterns for knitting such snowflake laces.

Lacy snowflakes as a knitted decoration for postcards.

Christmas and New Year cards with good wishes for the coming year - they are always attached to the gift, as a matter of course. Purchased in a store, unremarkable colorful rectangles after the holidays often go into waste paper along with gift wrapping paper. But do-it-yourself postcards, with an openwork crocheted snowflake pasted on a nickname, will keep the memory of you for many years.

We decorate the windows with crocheted snowflakes.

Remember how in childhood we liked to cut snowflakes out of paper, stick them with soap to glass. After the New Year's celebrations, we tore them from the cold windows, washed away the soapy outlines, so that the next Christmas weekend we would again cut out new snowy paper laces. But you can make the window decorated with eternal snowflakes. Look at the photo, how beautiful and delicately crocheted snowflakes decorate the window. They can simply be attached to thin threads, or you can stretch such a rounded snowflake on a round wire frame or hoop from an embroidery hoop. Each year, you can add one snowflake to your crystal lace window family.

Christmas balls tied with snowflakes.

Just look at these exquisite Christmas balls. What exquisite handiwork. Such balls tied with lace, knitted according to the same patterns as snowflakes, can be safely presented to friends and acquaintances for the Christmas holidays. And every year, decorating their Christmas trees with such snowflake balls, they will gratefully remember their donor. How to make such crocheted balls with a pattern in the form of snowflakes yourself, read In this article.

Well, now let's try to make knitted snowflakes ourselves.

Knitted snowflakes and the best crochet patterns.

To tie a snowflake yourself, you do not need to masterfully master the crochet hook. Everyone who has ever held a hook in their hands knows how to knit air loops, single crochet And double crochet. Any crochet creation consists of these three elements, and absolutely all crochet snowflakes consist of them.

In all the diagrams below, the conditional images are as follows:

The circle is an air loop.

Cross - single crochet.

A stick with a crossbar - a double crochet (how many crossbars, so many crochets need to be done).
