And speaking of memories, I once spent a winter evening with my family, huddled by the fireplace, crocheting snowflake ornaments.

It has now become a family tradition, each year there are less of us, but we continue to try and teach the young ones.

To Finish
For a flatter snowflake, lightly wet it and pin it into shape. Let it dry completely. For a stiffer ornament-style snowflake, use starch or fabric stiffener before blocking.

- String several together for a winter garland
- Add to gift wrapping
- Sew onto a scarf, stocking, or tote bag

Quick Variation
For a more delicate look, replace the ch 3 point in each arm with ch 5. This gives each snowflake tip a longer, more pointed shape.
