Snowflakes
Also known as Snefnug
Let these beautiful snowflakes fall indoor where they never melt.
Decorate the window, the Christmas tree or make a winter mobile and you have your own little snowfall.
The flakes are knitted on DPN’s and consist of only 8 pattern rounds.
Vary the yarn thickness between Spindrift and Ultra to get a different expression and pull beads onto the yarn as an extra decoration for the snowflake.

Snefnug
Lad disse smukke snefnug dale indenfor, hvor de aldrig smelter.
Pynt med dem i vinduet, på juletræet eller lav en vinterlig uro og få dit eget lille snefald.

8 mønsteromgange.
Varier garntykkelsen mellem Spindrift og Ultra for at få et forskelligt udtryk og træk perler på garnet som ekstra pynt til snefnugget.
