Six and ten point snowflakes ❄️

I made two snowflakes by the same designer.

I absolutely love how they look! I made these with worsted weight yarn rather than the size 10 crochet thread called for, so they’re a bit bigger than the pattern states. I need to starch them, and then I will probably hang on the wall for more Christmas decor since we can’t have a tree.

Edited to add: Here is the designers Ravelry page. These are the Ariel Snowflakes

Edit 2: Here’s another snowflake I made

Gorgeous! I’m especially drawn to the second one. Could you share the designer?

These are gorgeous. I love how fluffy and soft they look in that yarn, too. Almost like an Anise cookie. Good enough to eat!

Very pretty! Overlay crochet, great texture.
How will you starch them?

I’m not sure yet. I haven’t actually starched anything before. I figure I’ll google a few things and buy what I need this weekend. Do you have any suggestions?

My gran used to sugar starch but wouldn’t it get sticky in humidity? I have no good ideas.

I’ve used watered down white glue for “starching” snowflakes. Put a little white glue in a dish, mix in some water, lay in your snowflake and get it saturated, cover a blocking board or piece of cardboard with a piece of wax paper and pin your snowflake to dry.

@AuFish recently posted an experiment in stiffening, might be worth exploring the post.

So elegant! I love them! I think they look even more fun and exciting in the heavier yarn!
