Eira Crochet Snowflake Ornament [Free Crochet Pattern + Video]
This snowflake pattern is one of my favorites because it has quite an unusual shape. Big eyelets, long chains and little picots all gain shape after blocking and stiffening. It’s up to you how the final shape will look like. Pin the center of the ornament in place while blocking and get creative with pinning the arms.
This year’s collection of ornaments has wintery names, fitting perfectly into the season of cold, white snow and festivities. I hope it will be a fun challenge and a beautiful decoration!
