Don’t let crocheters have all the fun… knit up your own flurry of snowflakes!

(…or, for even more knit snowflake designs, check out my first set of snowflakes here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18308476)

This is knitting pattern suitable for intermediate to experienced knitters, and involves the following techniques:

• Working in the round
• Twisted stitches (knit through back loop)
• Increases (yo, double yo, knit front and back) and Decreases (k 2 tog and slip 1, k 1, psso)
• Provisional Cast On
• Short Rows
• 2-st Right Cross (instructions are included in pattern, or can be found here: http://www.tata-tatao.to/knit/stitches/cross/e-index.html...)
• Double Vertical Decrease (instructions are included in pattern, or can be found here: http://www.tata-tatao.to/knit/stitches/decrease/e-index.h...)
• Over Increase (instructions are included in pattern, or can be found here: http://www.tata-tatao.to/knit/stitches/increase/e-index.h...)

Each finished snowflake measures about 4 to 6 inches across, and takes between 15 and 25 yards of size 10 crochet cotton.
