Don’t let crocheters have all the fun… knit up your own flurry of snowflakes!

This is a knitting pattern suitable for intermediate to experienced knitters, and involves the following techniques:

  • Making I-cord
  • Working in the round
  • Increases (yo, double yo, knit front and back, and M 1) and Decreases (k 2 tog, k 3 tog, and slip 1, k 1, psso)
  • Provisional Cast On
  • Short Rows

Each finished snowflake measures about 4 to 5 inches across, and takes between 10 and 20 yards of heavy worsted weight yarn.
