Just in time for the holidays! If you’ve ever thought it’d be fun to learn how to crochet, but the idea of starting with a blanket or even a scarf feels way too overwhelming—this simple, 2-round snowflake is the perfect starter project for an adventurous beginner. They make great ornaments, add the perfect touch to a well wrapped gift. You could wear one as a necklace, use it as applique and sew it onto a sweater or tote bag—or, string a few together and you’ve got yourself some garland!
Whether you make just one, or 100— you’ll come away with the skills you need to continue your crochet adventure on whatever kind of project you choose to tackle next.
Maybe you’ve dabbled in crochet here or there before—or maybe you’ve never touched a hook in your life. Either way, l'll show you everything you need to know, from how to hold your yarn, to how to read a crochet pattern.
You’ll learn how to make:
- a Magic Ring (aka: Magic Circle, Adjustable Loop, etc.)
- Chain Stitch (Ch)
- Single Crochet (SC)
- Double Crochet (DC), and
- Slip stitch (Sl St)
AS A BONUS, I’ve included some printable holiday gift tags for the holidays that—when combined with your finished snowflake—will make the lucky recipient feel extra special.
All you need to get started are:
- a crochet hook
- some yarn
- scissors
Thanks for being here. Let's hook it up!
