Free Crochet Snowflake Patterns: How to Crochet a Snowflake Ornament
Crochet snowflakes are the ultimate Christmas decor, and I’m forever enchanted by their delicate beauty. If you are looking for ways to make your festive time even more special, you should consider making some snowflakes!
These lacy crochet ornaments are beginner-friendly because I’m not an expert myself, and I like projects that work fast. These beauties look good in many different colors, but try experimenting to make them look beautiful!
Over the years, I created a series of patterns for crochet snowflakes, which will be perfect as Christmas tree ornaments, coasters, wall decor, and more.

FAQ
What to do with crochet snowflakes?
Alright, so you made some adorable snowflakes and wonder what to do with them? Well, you can attach them to a string to make a beautiful crochet garland. You can use them as a gift embellishment, tying it to gift tags, or simply adorn your table or sprinkle them on your windowsill.
How to crochet snowflakes step by step?
Most lacy snowflakes use basic stitches, such as slip stitch, chain stitch, or double crochet. We usually work in the round and start with a magic circle or a chain loop. Then, we proceed with combinations of easy crochet stitches, following the pattern instructions.
Are all of these snowflake patterns free?
Yes, these patterns are and will always remain free!
Are these crochet snowflakes for beginners?
Yes! These designs are very simple, and you need only basic crochet techniques to follow the patterns. If you happen to have any questions or problems, though, be sure to leave a comment or contact me via social media or email, and I will be happy to help!
What do I need to make these snowflakes?
You need a crochet thread, a small crochet hook, some scissors, and a bit of patience. You will always find the exact specifications in the pattern notes of each snowflake.
To make a delicate lacy snowflake, I usually use a type 10 crochet thread made with cotton and a 1.5 mm crochet hook. Worsted-weight yarn or bulky yarn won’t work here! These ornaments require specific materials with specific qualities.
If you don’t have cotton thread, you can try using thinner yarn, but remember that different yarn and different hook sizes may produce drastically different results.
Are there video tutorials on how to crochet a snowflake?
Yes, if you are a visual learner, try my easy-to-follow video instructions. All snowflakes on this website include video tutorials for right- and left-handed crocheters. You can find them in individual posts or on my YouTube channel.
How to make the snowflakes keep their shape?
By blocking and stiffening. I personally use a solution of wood glue (such as Vicol) or starch and water, and I block my pieces on foam mats with rust-free pins. You can see my process of blocking and stiffening ornaments in this video:

What’s a MINI CAL?
It’s a mini version of crochet-a-long 🙂 five small projects released each every week (instead of parts of a big complicated one), no dedicated fb group, and you can stop whenever you like. “CAL” seemed too big of a word for this, so I went for “mini CAL” 😉
Thank you for providing us with the wonderful snowflake patterns. They are beautiful.
The patterns are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. May I ask where could I find the mini version of the snowflakes? Thank you.
Hi JoAnn, there are no mini versions of the snowflakes. The CAL was called “mini” because there it took just two months.
Hi! I just wanted to pop on here to say that I made every one of your free snowflake designs this winter! At least, all that I could find, anyway. If there are more that aren’t listed on this website, let me know, I’m game! They all worked out great. I plan to give them as gifts next Christmas. I hope the people who receive them enjoy them as much as I did while making them. Thank you!
Wow, thank you, Claire! It’s fantastic and I’m so happy you liked my designs 🙂 All snowflakes are (and will be) listed on this page, and I can assure you I’ll publish more in the second half of this year. So good to have you on board!
