Here's the flake we had to recreate in cotton:
And here's my version:
Simple Snowflake

Ch4, slst in 1st ch to form ring.
Rnd 1) Ch6, (dc in ring, ch3) x 5, join w slst in 3rd ch at beg of rnd.

As ever, please let me know if you find any mistakes or it just plain doesn't make sense, thanx.
Ooooooh, I love this! There's actually a design contest for snowflakes?!! How neat is that! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Aim. Yes, I think it's a great idea. I would never have thought to myself "I think I'll design a snowflake today", but when I saw the picture for the first competition I started thinking about what combinations of stitches I'd use to make a flake that looked like it. Then I wondered if it would work. The next thing I knew I was sitting there with a ball of cotton and my trusty #10 hook, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Congratulations, again! You're a seriously awesome flake maker. This one was a bit simpler than the last -- I love it! Great job!
