Crochet snowflake patterns delight the imagination. Snowflakes are such a magical motif. Every single one is unique from the others; they're like the fingerprints of nature. Of course, when you follow a crochet pattern, the snowflake that you make might look like some others. That doesn't make them any less delightful, as you'll see when you peruse these designs.
This roundup includes several crochet snowflake patterns for simple motifs. Add them to other projects, attach them to gift bags, string them into garlands, or use them as ornaments. In addition to single snowflake motifs, we've included some accessories patterns that incorporate snowflakes into their design.
