Just like in the real world, no two crochet snowflakes are alike. There are 100s of free crochet snowflake patterns out there, but we’ve curated the cream of the crop for this pattern collection. Looks like it’s going to be white Christmas one way or another!
Of course, not all crocheted snowflakes have to be white. In fact, some of my favorite designs feature snowflakes made with beautiful blues, shining silvers, and gorgeous golds. The best part is that each snowflake requires very little yarn, so you can make use of all those yarn scraps you have leftover from other projects.
So, what can you make with crochet snowflakes anyway? Let me tell you, the possibilities are endless! Individual snowflakes are great for bookmarks, appliques, ornaments, coasters, and present toppers. Join multiple snowflakes together to create table runners, tree skirts, scarves, or throws.
For many of these free patterns for crocheted snowflakes, you’ll get the best results if you block your finished creations. Stiffening your snowflakes is also recommended for certain applications. Trust me when I say that these extra steps are well worth the effort (and really not as tricky as they may seem if you’ve never done them before).
In addition to free patterns for crochet snowflakes on their own, we’ve also got a handful of other designs that feature snowflakes center stage. These include a beanie, a bauble, and a bag – and those are just the B’s!
So, without further ado, let’s dive into this dazzling display of crochet snowflakes. Scroll down and see these gorgeous designs for yourself!
