It is heading for Winter here, and although winters where I live never get much colder than -1 degrees celcius, and some morning frost, I decided to be creative with a winter theme.
cue crochet snowflakes
I learned how to crochet when I was very young, around 3 or 4 years old, and I find it quite easy to do. The trouble is I am not that good with understanding crochet patterns, I always find them convoluted and complex. I find it easier to make stuff up as I go along, or revise a pre-written pattern into one that works for me.

| I made this one in cream coloured 8ply acrylic |
I have been fiddling around with an easy to make crochet snowflake, after success making one out of variegated blue 8ply acrylic yarn I thought I would share it with all of you!
what i did:
using a 3.5 hook and 8ply yarn chain 6 and slip stitch to join
chain 4, then treble 11 into the hole
slip stitch the end of the row of trebles to the start
- *chain 5, then double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from hook
- chain 5, dc in the 4th chain from hook
- then dc again near the top of the trebles
- and one more dc in the next treble*
repeat from * 5 more times
then slip stitch to finish, darn in edges
et voila
if you use sparkly yarn it will look even nicer!
