Nine snowflakes! As in nature, no two of these thread crochet snowflakes are alike. A large-scale snowflake is the focus of the round pillow, while delicate flakes float on an ice-blue sky in the square pillow. If you prefer, just sew snowflakes onto purchased pillows. Make extra snowflakes to hang on your tree or to decorate your gifts.
