This project was inspired by flowers, which is not your usual choice for wintery ornaments, but I think it works. An elegant star shape can be modified in the process of blocking and stiffening, creating more or less pointy snowflake arms.

This snowflake is a part of the 2025 Free Crochet Snowflake Patterns Collection. See all snowflake patterns here on crochetpedia.com.

The pattern is available in the form of written instructions and video tutorials for right- and left-handed crocheters.
