Blanche Crochet Snowflake Ornament [Free Crochet Pattern + Video]
Today I have the second of seven free crochet snowflake patterns for you! This year’s collection of ornaments has wintery names, fitting perfectly into the season of cold, white snow and festivities.
The look of a classic granny stitch partly inspired this crochet snowflake pattern. Its boxy nature seemed different and interesting enough to include in this collection. I hope you’ll find this project easy and fun to make, as it was for me to design it!
