A few weeks ago I stumbled across a page on the Crochet Crowd’s website soliciting crocheted snowflakes to help Diva Dan build a full size igloo at this year’s Creativ Festival. The festival runs from October 15-17 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m planning to spend all three days at the festival (and I’m insanely excited since I’ve never been before), so how could I resist whipping up a few snowflakes when I’ll actually get to see the final result?
It turns out that snowflakes are super fun to make (even in the Summer!), and I had a blast varying the pattern, hook size, and yarn to make each one unique.
Here’s the final set:
And close-ups of some of my favourites:
Oh, and did you know that October 17th is I Love Yarn Day? What better way to spend the day than at a craft conference?
I love these snowflakes 😊

These are absolutely charming! I’m trying to choose a favourite…..really tough…..I think maybe the third one. I hope you are planning to make more so you have some for your own Christmas tree!

I love these snowflakes too and I have a few acquired years ago at some Christmas shop ( maybe Frankenmuth?) but mine need some TLC now perhaps a wash and spray starch to freshen them up! Xo. Great work Danna!

How lovely these crochet snowflakes are. They look like they would make great Christmas tree ornaments too!

Thank you all! I may make more as Christmas decorations since I didn’t use up all of the yarn I bought, but to be allowed on my Christmas tree I’d have to come up with a way to make them geek themed! I’ll share pics of my geek themed ornament collection when I haul out my Christmas stuff this year.
