A lovely snowflake and easy to make. I keep my snowflakes up all winter and it brightens up the dark days.

You can make this of any regular cotton yarn and a matching hook for a semi-tight stitching. When I make one with a 3mm hook the width is around 7cm (2.8in).

If you want glitter, I can recommend a glitter yarn. I tried Twinkle from Scheepjes. It might be a bit more difficult to make, but the tiny flashes you get are worth it. (though difficult to catch on a photo).

Have fun!

P.s. notice that I have TWO free snowflake patterns. And they match each other pretty well :)
