CROCHET SNOWFLAKE

MY FAVORITE CROCHET SNOWFLAKE. THIS LOVELY SNOWFLAKE HAS ONLY THREE ROUNDS. IT IS ONE YOU CAN MAKE QUITE QUICKLY ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF HOW TO DO THE ARMS (DENDRITES). I TRY TO DEMONSTRATE THE STITCHES SLOWLY SO YOU CAN GET THE IDEA OF WHERE TO INSERT YOUR HOOK. IT IS A GREAT PATTERN TO PRACTISE WORKING INTO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SINGLE CROCHET.
HOW I STIFFEN THE SNOWFLAKES: UPDATE
I MENTION IN THE VIDEO THAT I STIFFEN THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN OF SNOWFLAKE USING EQUAL PARTS WATER TO CRAFT(PVA) GLUE HOWEVER THAT IS WHEN I USE SIZE 10 CROCHET THREAD. FOR DK COTTON I WOULD RECOMMEND USING TWO PARTS GLUE TO WATER AND FOR SOME YARNS YOU MAY EVEN NEED LESS WATER....YOU MAY NEED TO EXPERIMENT. MIX THEM TOGETHER. FOR ONE OR TWO SMALL SNOWFLAKES YOU WOULD NEED ABOUT 30ML OF BOTH WATER AND GLUE, MIX TOGETHER WITH A SPOON, DUNK YOUR SNOWFLAKES IN THIS MIXTURE THEN SQUEEZE OUT THE EXCESS. PIN OUT YOUR SNOWFLAKES USING RUSTLESS PINS AND LEAVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS TO DRY.
