This dainty crochet pattern for “snowflakes” (which are really flowers), will add a touch of vintage charm to your tree or gifts this holiday season. Turn them into ornaments or gift tags depending on your needs.

This crochet pattern is available for free on my website or you can download it here as a print-optimized, ad-free PDF for your convenience.

Difficulty:
Easy

Materials Needed:
2.75mm steel hook for an ornament
1.5mm steel hook for a tag
20-25 yards Aunt Lydia’s #10 Crochet Thread in White, or color of your choice, per ornament.
scissors
needle for weaving in ends
Ornament hooks (optional)

Stitches Used:
sl st = slip stitch
ch= chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
2 dc cluster = dc2tog in the same stitch.
BPsc = back post single crochet

Gauge:
Gauge is not particularly important for these--they look cute in a variety of sizes.

Measurements:
Approximately 2.75” to 3” wide using a 2.75mm hook, or 2 1/4” across using a 1.5mm hook

Additional Notes:
-You can use this pattern to make gift tags as well as ornaments. I’d suggest using a smaller hook for the tags and a larger hook for the ornaments, but really it’s up to you. My ornament came out to be 2 1/4” across with I used #10 thread and a 1.5mm steel hook.
You could try using #20 or #30 cotton thread and a smaller steel hook if you want really tiny “snowflakes”. Likewise, you could use a 4mm (G) hook and #2 sport weight yarn to make larger “snowflakes”.
