I used 4 ply yarns on a 3mm hook for this project - but you can go bigger or smaller. The lurex and cotton yarn I used gave the flake a bit of structure, the mohair gives it a wispy icy finish and the beads look like melting snow….

Make a few or make a blizzard….once you get started you wont know when to stop: its infectious!
