Snowflake No. 7

Celebrate your holiday season with crocheted snowflakes, icicles, and bells. You can have one done in just five rows. Get yourself a cotton thread (I used Aunt Lydia's) and make few snowflakes. Every two or three years I decorate our tree with just my crocheted decorations and some blue lights. Other times I use them for window or dinner table decorating. Either way, occasionally, I love to surround myself with a simple, elegant, white color.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
