Free Crochet Pattern: 2-Round Snowflake
By Claire Golden – 6 CommentsSnow is one of my favorite things about winter. There’s something so cozy about watching the snow fall outside while you curl up with a blanket and a crochet project. It doesn’t snow much where I live, though, so this little snowflake is my solution. They’re perfect for a gift topper, hair clip, or strung together in a garland. With only 2 rounds, you can make a pile of them in a few hours…and these snowflakes won’t give you frostbite.
Skill Level: |
Finished Size: 3″ (7.5 cm) diameter (measured from point to point)
Materials: Light Weight Yarn (approximately 5 yards or less) Crochet Hook F (3.75 mm) |
Gauge:
Since the snowflake is so small, it’s most efficient to use the snowflake itself as your gauge swatch. Crochet the 2 rounds of the pattern and determine if you like the size. If not, increase or decrease your hook size to make the snowflake bigger or smaller.
Rounds 1-2 in pattern measure 3″ (7.5 cm) in diameter (from point to point).

could this be the center of a granny square?? it’s so cute!
That’s a great idea, Michal! I’ll play around with that. Since it has six points, maybe a granny hexagon, too…thanks for the suggestion!
What a sweet, simple snowflake! I love it.
Thank you Erica! I like how quick they are to make.
Are there any tutorials to teach a left handed granddaughter to crochet? I tried – even used a mirror but….it would be easier if there was a booklet published showing how to crochet many patterns lefthanded
