Caelia Snowflake Free Crochet Pattern + Video Tutorial
Part 2 of my 2025 crochet snowflake collection is here! This project is light and airy, with a circular center and delicate picots on each arm. Just like the other designs, it uses almost exclusively basic stitches in fun combinations.
The 2025 snowflake collection will be published in 7 parts for 7 consecutive Thursdays in October, November, and December. Each free snowflake design is unique, but they work great with other Christmas ornaments from my library. See the schedule below.

Block and stiffen your snowflake. Remember to pin every arm of the snowflake and every picot in place to achieve a regular and even look.
