The pattern also contains an ornament hack so that you can use finer yarn (fingering to light fingering) and needles (2.5 mm / US 1 1/2) to make a mini mitten to decorate with.

Iskrystaller, or simply ice crystals, are beautiful crystal like formations of thin ice that in great numbers can look like fields of frozen flowers. Up close they take intricate symmetric shapes of huge variety, often as hexagonal prisms. As a child I used to love folding paper circles and cutting out my own unique snow crystals.

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support. Happy knitting!
