Crochet pattern with description
Step one: we make a ring of air loops. All round crocheted items must be crocheted from the center. To do this, you need to put seven air loops on the hook and close the resulting chain in a circle.
Check if all the loops are straight; if not, it is better to tie them; the start of work will determine the further accuracy of making the snowflake.
Step two: we knit the first row. Knit the first row according to the pattern: three air loops for lifting a row. After this, repeat the combination six times: three double crochets, 3 double crochets. loops.
Step three: new second row combination, diagram and description. Closing the ring, move to the nearest air. loop of the previous row and knit the second row according to the following pattern: three in. lifting item; three double crochets, five air. loops, three double crochet, 1 in. a loop.
We knit this pattern six times.
Step four: we knit the rays in the third row. To knit the third row, perform three air. lifting loops in the place where the previous row ended. Continue knitting according to the pattern: three double crochets, three in. p., three tbsp. with double crochet, five air. loops, 3 tbsp. double crochet, three air. loops, three tbsp. double crochet
This combination must be repeated six times, resulting in the beginning of six rays.

Tie a semicircle according to the pattern: 2 single crochets, 2 air crochets. double crochet loops, 2 air. pet., 2 single crochet, 3 air. p., 2 double crochets; 3 air p., 2 single crochet, 2 in. p., 1 double crochet, 2 in. p., 2 single crochets.
You should get an openwork ray around the oval. Turn the work and knit ten single crochets on the left side, and ten similar stitches on the other side of the beam. Each beam is tied in this way. Repeat from the fourth row, tying all semicircles with rays according to the pattern. Finish tying the last beam. The openwork beauty is ready.
Step six. The product is ready, but its appearance is unpresentable. It needs to be given a festive and neat look. To do this, it needs to be starched and dried under pressure.
To prepare starch, you can use the following instructions: dilute three tablespoons of starch in a glass of cold water until the lumps disappear, heat half a liter of water, add starch jelly and bring until thickened.

we wind a ring on a finger from a thread and tie it with single crochets; - We cast on 5 air loops and close the ring. We knit a connecting post and 3 chain stitches of the first row.
Again we make a connecting post and three air loops, closing the arc with a connecting post. To make it clearer, we periodically look at the photo below.
There should be 6 such arcs. Close the row with a connecting post.
We tie the first arch: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 2 single crochets.
We also tie the second and third arch: 2 single crochets, 3 chain stitches and 2 single crochets.
We repeat three more times. This concludes the master class for beginners. We have already created an openwork little star. But let's try to knit it even more and more beautifully.
Start the third row with a connecting post. Next is the row report: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 5 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 2 chain stitches.
Repeat the row report 5 more times.
We got an openwork crocheted snowflake that can be starched and hung on a Christmas tree.
Master class on knitting beautiful snowflakes for the New Year
If the question “What can you do to please your household during the winter holidays?” The answer will be “make something beautiful with your own hands,” then crocheted snowflakes are exactly what you need! These small winter symbols can be used for a variety of purposes, and they will give a special mood to everyone without exception. But first you need to choose suitable patterns for crocheting snowflakes, and consider several master classes.
Abbreviations for description:
VP
- air loop;
CCH
– double crochet;
RLS
– single crochet;
P5
– pico from 5 VP;
P3
– pico from 3 VP;
SS
– connecting column;
PSSN
- half double crochet.
Knitting a snowflake:
Please note that at the beginning of the row we knit VP instead of stitches.
CCH = 3VP; RLS = 1VP.
Let's start with the ring.
1st row: *2Dc with a common top, 3VP* x 5 times, SS;
2nd row: *(1СБН, 5ВП, 1СБН) - in one loop, 4VP)* x 5 times, SS;
3rd row: 3SS, in an arch of 5VP - 2СН, 2ВП, under an arch of 4VP - 1СБН, 2ВП
*(2СН, 3ВП, 2СН) – under 5VP, 2ВП, 1СБН under the next one. arch, 2VP) * x 4 times.
The end of the row is 2DC in the first arch from which the row began, 1VP, 1DC in the third VP;
4th row: under the newly connected PRSN - (1СБН, П5, 1СБН, П3), 2ВП, 1СБН - in the 2nd СН, П3, 2ВП, under РСН - СС. Half of the beam is knitted.
We knit the next five in the same way.
Continue knitting after SS
* 2VP, 1SC we knit in the SSN, P3, 2VP, under the arch - (1SC, P3, 1SC, P5, 1SC, P3), 2VP, 1SC in the 2nd SC, P3, 2VP, under the RLS - SS*.
We tied five rays, and we finish the sixth - 2VP, 1СБН, П3, 2ВП, under the 1st arch - 1СБН, П3, СС.
We fasten the thread and cut it. The snowflake is ready!
Another version of a crocheted snowflake might look like this:
Abbreviations for description:
P6 – pico of 6 VP;
SP – connecting loop;
RLS – single crochet;
VP – air loop;
Dc - double crochet.
Knitting a snowflake:
At the beginning of knitting snowflakes, we collect a chain of 6 chain stitches. Don’t forget about replacing the first columns of the VP:
- 3VP are equal to 1СН;
- 1VP is equal to 1СБН.
1st row:
1VP, 11СН, SP;
2nd row:
(2СН, 3ВП) – 6 repetitions, SP;
3rd row:
(2 sc in the top of the dc of the second row, under the arch - 2 dc, 4 ch, 2 dc) - 6 repetitions, sp;
4th row: (2SP, in two DC we knit 2SC, under the arch – 1SC, P6, 1SC, 1DC, picot trefoil (P6), 1DC, 1SC, P6, 1SC, 2SC in the SC of the 3rd row, 1VP, skip two loops) – 6 repetitions , SP.
We remove all excess threads, fasten them, and cut them off.
We starch the openwork motif, align it and secure it with pins, and let it dry. The crocheted snowflake is ready.
Video lesson
Beginners in such a difficult task as crocheting are always helped by visual lessons that help them avoid the simplest mistakes and pay attention to important points that master classes in photographs do not always fully convey. This video tutorial will help you crochet a snowflake even for those craftswomen who are taking it up for the first time in their lives.
Knitted snowflakes. How to use + diagrams beautifullyKnitted SNOWFLAKES 40 ideas + crochet patterns.
That's what we'll do
- Candlesticks and napkins from knitted snowflakes.
- Snowflake pendants(framed, with beads, on a frame)
- Christmas tree decorations with crocheted snowflakes.
- Snowflakes to decorate the New Year's table(tablecloths, coasters, ring)
- Crochet snowflakes - applications for New Year's cards.
- Snowflakes-garlands crochet for interior decoration.
- Using snowflakes on Christmas wreaths.
So there will be a lot of interesting ideas. Spin your mouse wheel and dive into this festive world of snowflake knitting creativity.
SNOWFLAKES CROCHET - as a decoration for the New Year's table.
Here's an idea crochet New Year's candlesticks I found it... and immediately wanted to knit such a snowflake for this upcoming New Year.
But there really is nothing complicated. You first need to knit a ring of chain stitches... then tie it with double crochets (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the circle). And in the last row you need to make so many columns so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMNA SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in the repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for the petal of a snowflake whose repetition begins with every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last PATTERN must 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 cramping or extra holes.
The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals.... and the pattern of each petal is placed on 5 columns of the bottom row... This means that in a circular DOZOR 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 can we safely begin the pattern.
Also, crocheted snowflakes can be used to decorate a holiday table. serve as napkins-cup holders or coasters for glass stems.
You can also decorate a 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 using any convenient and quick pattern - and connect all the snowflakes together with rays (just sewing threads). You will get a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can make it for table decoration elegant hearts with lace ruffles, bows and snowflake appliqués made with crochet.
And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful New Year's lamp. The first idea (this is a bag of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We cover such a paper cone with knitted snowflake napkins... plug the garland into a power outlet and look at the beautiful glowing lace.
And the second candlestick is made simply from a tall glass, lace, and crocheted snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass convenient to use SPAGHETTI MACARONI. They burn well - we light a long piece of spaghetti and lower such a “splinter” into a glass towards the candle wick.
KNITTED SNOWFLAKES NAPKINS
- as decor for a gift.
If you have prepared small gifts for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it would be good to put them in jars like these, decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing dear and useful little things in it.
This snowflake is simply crocheted to the wall of the jar with a glue gun. 
Also, jars of homemade jam according to your great-grandmother’s family recipes can be used as New Year’s gifts... or delicious pickles from your hospitable mother-in-law. H to make the jars look like New Year's presents their lids can be decorated with this elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.
Crochet SNOWFLAKES
for decorating the New Year tree.
You can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree itself with snowflakes. You can crochet many identical snowflakes - in the same style using 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 dedicated to this particular color choice in holiday decor. RED New Year - 64 photos (decor, crafts, Christmas trees).
You can show your imagination and make crocheted snowflake crafts with an original idea. This is how it is here - not just a crocheted snowflake, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or like snowflakes tying round pieces of postcard.
You can also crochet a snowflake connect to felt base- and we get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background like a white snowflake.
Can fit a snowflake into a metal ring and decorate the Christmas tree (or turn it into jewelry). Metal rings can be purchased in the sewing department of the store (the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).
DIY NEW YEAR CARDS DECOR
knitted snowflakes.
Often, we don't just want to 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 add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped, soulless postcards from the store with heartfelt words - it’s better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any pattern, 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.
You can have a snowflake just stick it on(with adhesive pencil) ... Or you can use a snowflake in Place it in a through-hole frame cut out in the postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a “window” and not glue the snowflake in, but tie it to the postcard using these holes.
Or you can simply hang a snowflake on a card on a string.
Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes
or tree branches
The New Year holiday is, first of all, a TREE. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small tabletop Christmas tree, then two skeins of thread are enough for tying it with snowflakes.
Or if instead of a Christmas tree you only have a small composition of spruce branches hanging on the door or wall. This is also made from spruce legs, golden ribbon and crocheted 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 clear. We simply glue double-sided tape to the wall (silhouette in the shape of a Christmas tree) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get tree outline on the wall- and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the strings. If the wall is wooden and you don’t mind it, then you can stuff small nails and attach a garland and snowflakes to them.
Or, if you don’t mind the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland for the New Year tree.
You can crochet snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (icicles similar to pieces of ice) and silver birds will complement the decor.
Knitted snowflakes hang from the rungs of a stepladder... or fasten them to a 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 (convenient if the cabinet doors slide up).
White snowflakes of the same design (that is, crocheted according to the same pattern) look good. This garland can be simply attached to the wall.
Or you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to patterns with different patterns and different sizes. It also turns out to be a magical decoration for the New Year's holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes matches the overall color design of the interior.
Or you can hang snowflakes with a hook on the curtain rod - each on its own string (as in the photo below).
Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.
SNOWFLAKES for decoration
decorative pendants.
Crocheted openwork beauties can be decorated into a one-piece pendant design. Here are two models of such a snowflake.
MODEL No. 1 - We knit snowflakes in three sizes - large, medium and small. And we string them on a thread - first a large one, then several crystal beads... a medium one... more beads and a small one.
MODEL No. 2 - take a metal ring (you can bend it from wire) and tie it with hooks using simple single crochet stitches (try this - it’s easy - hook the thread under the edge of the ring and crochet a stitch 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 a snowflake petal).
Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the fly... and then it is only important that the total number of columns be divided by six.
And then we crochet another snowflake - the size is such that it fits inside the ring.
You can also fit the ready-made snowflake into the ring (photo below)- pull its rays to the ring and secure with threads. These crocheted rings with snowflakes can be hung on the window. Either in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.
You can also attach knitted snowflakes 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 you wrap it, the ribbon must be secured with a thread and a needle (so that the layers of the ribbon do not slip off) - and then hard starched (or candied) knitted snowflakes must be sewn to this ribbon.
Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie simply by crocheting under the hoop) - and then on the comb of these columns start knitting the RAYS of one large snowflake at once. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake pattern. You can find a diagram for tying such a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden take snowflakes from any diagram... And simply increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.
PATTERNS FOR CROCHING SNOWFLAKES.
Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes on its own pattern of just THREE ELEMENTS... chain stitch... single crochet... single crochet (or double crochet).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS, then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKE - according to ANY PATTERN.
All these different snowflakes(from photo above) knitted too using THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only double crochets... only single crochets... and only double crochets.
But the pattern turns out different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.
Like alternating notes in music. There are only 7 notes - and the music is new every time.
Therefore, snowflakes are CONVENIENT TO COMPOSE... just knit in the round... and come up with a pattern as you go. All you need is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASIC CIRCLE to such a number of columns in the circle - so that it is a MULTIPLE of the 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 should 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. So that they are hard and callous. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.
First way. Starch and dry flat. D We eat a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tablespoon of cold water.
Moisten the snowflake with starch solution and flattened on a sheet of cardboard- and so that the snowflake stretches well, stuck pins- so that the snowflake stretches and does not shrink back - but dries in this straightened form. Then it will retain its solid form, hardened by starch.
Second way. Sugar a snowflake. Make sugar syrup - 1 glass of water for 16 tablespoons of sugar - put everything on the fire so that the sugar dissolves. Dip the snowflake into the syrup. We take it out, place it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - flatten the snowflake, secure it with pins.
Third way. Soak in gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And 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 to the snowflake with a brush.
HOW TO CROCHET A SNOWFLAKE.
Schemes and master class in a simple pattern.
KNITTING A SNOWFLAKE starts FROM THE MIDDLE... from the center... and gradually row by row - circle by circle the snowflake is overgrown with lace petals.
What does this process look like? very clearly visible from the master class below... Here you can see how a snowflake is crocheted according to the pattern. By the way, these are probably the fastest snowflakes to knit - and they keep their shape well even without starching- due to the fact that they have very clear contour with MULTI-ROW piping.
IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or lace, then you can understand the snowflake knitting pattern without patterns - JUST BY THE PHOTO.
After all, even in relatively small photos, all the air loops, single crochets and double crochets are clearly visible. Just print the snowflake on the printer (you can enlarge the photo beforehand) and knit from such a photo sample.
Well, if you are a beginner crochet lace craftswoman, then here are some snowflake patterns that are quite easy to implement.
DIAGRAMS OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.
Snowflake with cones. The bump is created easily (many yarn overs are made - but all yarn overs are knitted into one loop at once).
And here are a few more diagrams... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurred and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.
Scheme for openwork snowflakes.
But he's beautiful openwork crochet snowflake. Beautiful holes and neat little piping around the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned crochet, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The diagram is attached - all the same familiar CHAIRS... 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 will inspire me so much that I won’t be lazy to draw it manually, I will post it in this article below.
In the meantime, these are all the treasures in my piggy bank for today.
Use it with pleasure.
Wishing you happiness and good luck in the New Year.
Let bright thoughts be strong and bring good events and good people into your home.
