The delightful Frosted Gem Snowflake is a quick and easy crochet pattern, perfect for crocheters of all skill levels. With just four rounds, you’ll create beautiful snowflakes that are both enchanting and a joy to make. In no time, you’ll have a flurry of adorable snowflakes to adorn your home or share as heartfelt gifts!

There’s a free video tutorial available for this project! This is my first video tutorial, and I admit I was a bit nervous about creating it. It felt like stepping into the unknown, but I poured my heart into it and truly hope you find it helpful.

The size of your snowflake motifs depends on the yarn thickness and hook you choose. For the snowflake shown in the photo, I used lace-weight yarn and a 1.75 mm hook, and it measures 10 cm (or 4 inches). Feel free to experiment! Go bigger or smaller; each snowflake will be uniquely yours.

While white is the classic choice for a snowy vibe, don’t hesitate to explore pastel hues like soft blues, pinks, or even shimmering silver. Try incorporating metallic threads for an extra dash of sparkle.

Imagine stringing several snowflakes together to create a sparkling garland for your mantle or hanging them in your windows to catch the light like tiny shooting stars. They also make wonderful gifts - attach a couple of frosted gems to a present for a unique touch, or include a few in a heartfelt card as special decorations!

So gather your materials, put on some cheerful music, and enjoy crafting your adorable Frosted Gem Snowflakes. Happy crocheting!
