This year for xmas, I wanted everything on my tree to be handmade. I mostly succeeded but it wasn't exactly what I wanted since I ran out of time. I was going to take a class on crocheted snowflakes but didn't get around to it. Now I can start prepping for next year already!
Today has been a surprise so I didn't have time to finish this properly with starch and blocking, but I think it turned out really well. It was a quick crochet, maybe twenty minutes. The pattern is called Mini Snowflake, designed by Julie A. Bolduc.
I used thin yarn instead of thread and a C hook, so this is bigger than the designer intended. But it did it's purpose in showing me that this kind of design isn't as difficult as the mind makes it seem. I am no longer intimidated by doilies! (maybe...) I'm definitely going to be making a number of these for xmas.
