Crocheted Snowflakes

Crocheted Snowflakes, originally uploaded by Pynnski.

I mentioned previously that I had made a small banner of snowflakes to decorate for Christmas. These are the ones that I made.

I used a variety of patterns, including several from a vintage pamphlet from the sixties. I also used a couple from Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs, which is a great book with a lot of variety of so-called granny squares (or, hexagons, circles, etc.).

The yarn I used was a sparkly DK weight Vanna yarn that I can’t remember the name of, but hey, Vanna White = win, so whatever, and the blue yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in Some Summer Sky.

I forget what hook I used, probably like an E or something.
