Do you want to make a white Christmas – Aussie style? Since it’s highly unlikely that it’ll snow in Australia for Christmas (or just plain impossible), I’m creating a white Christmas by crocheting snowflakes. The pattern is quick to make and the snowflakes are perfect for crocheting while watching tv. The other bonus is that you may already have all the materials and equipment you’ll need.

The pattern has 3 different sized snowflakes which are made using different sized hooks. The sizes are:
Small – 90mm in diameter.
Medium – 110mm in diameter.
Large – 150mm in diameter.

What you’ll need:

• Natural coloured twine for making the snowflakes (I bought mine from my local supermarket but you can also buy it online from Biome here).
• Different coloured twine or yarn for hanging the snowflakes (I bought the red hemp twine online from Biome here).
• Crochet hooks – 3.25mm for making a small snowflake, 4.50mm for making a medium snowflake and 6.00mm for making a large snowflake.
• Scissors.
• Darning needle.
• Pins for blocking.
• Something to pin onto for blocking. I use foam tiles, but you can use an ironing board or anything that a pin will stand up in.
