Snowflake Monday This is yet another flake inspired by a design on a snowflake fleece blanket I adore. As I was getting ready to post this pattern, I couldn't remember which flake this was. So I had to make another one. Which gave me a chance to fine-tune yet one more time, plus I also was able to try out the bamboo thread I received as a Christmas gift for the first time. So this is my first ever Bamboo Flake! I am delighted to report bamboo thread is an absolute joy to work with. After I finished pinning my revised flake, I decided I liked the original better, yet the original still needed something. You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Bamboo Snowflake Instructions Make magic ring. Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1 dc), 2 dc into ring, *ch 12, 3 dc into ring; repeat from * 4 more times for a total of 6 petals, ch 5, trtr (that's yo 4 times) into 1st dc (ch 5 and trtr count as final ch 12 loop).

Patterns Sunflowers At Home: Frost I sit here with my newest little one, A, on my lap sleeping. I should be cleaning, putting away dishes, loading the washing machine or any of the many home chores that seem to multiply infintesimally in a home with six people. However, how can I stop looking down at her sleeping, peaceful face? We had our first frost of the year last night. Christmas is only 63 days away!!! I prefer the thread crochet versions and there are several patterns available for free on the web that are beautiful. FROSTY the SNOWFLAKE You will need: steel crochet hook size 8 size 10 crochet thread stiffening medium of your choice (starch, sugar, glue etc) I use the magic circle to begin my snoflakes because I like a tight center.

Materials how to stiffen crochet snowflake | Vintage Crafts and More Welcome to this Friday’s VTNS Fan Freebie! This pretty star snowflake is actually a motif for a Supper Cloth or Buffet Topper, but when I saw it in my 1940s Lily booklet for Easy to Crochet Table Cloths and Runners, all I could think of was this would make a great crochet thread ornament. See what I mean…. Of course, if you’d like to you can join several together to make a pretty doily or runner. In order to use it as an ornament you’ll need to stiffen it. Blocking is simply slightly stretching it out, pinning it down on a soft cloth and steaming it with a hot iron with a wet cloth over it. While blocking, spritz it with spray laundry starch, that will help the blocking to hold. If you’d like to use fine glitter to make your snowflake sparkle, a glue stiffener would do and if you add some beads, you’ll have to use a strong stiffener so it won’t flop from the weight of the beads. The glue is not the best for a non-glittery snowflake, since it dulls the threads sheen.
