Lacy Snowflake is the first up in my "Ringing in Christmas" Ornament Series. All the ornaments in the series will be worked by crocheting around a 2" plastic ring, and I will be releasing one pattern each week. As of now, I'm not sure how many there will be as I'm still working on some of them. So I'll keep it going until my inspiration dries up, or Christmas gets here, whichever comes first. :)

| It looks pretty in blue too! |
Very pretty, thanks for sharing the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for that Tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifull Snowflake... love it... If I find a Ring I'm going to try it... :)
Oh my goodness, can't WAIT to get started on these! They're absolutely beautiful, for both my little Christmas trees, and my scrapbooking! Thank you so much for the pattern! ((hugs)) ~tina
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous.... Love the blue one!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I love this project and would like to feature it on my blog's Craft Friday (www.dirtyhooker.org). It's not a porn site, despite the name (hooker = crochet). I was wondering if you'd mind if I used your picture of the project, with a link back to your site. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Monica,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't reply to your email because you are set as a no-reply blogger, but if you read this, yes, you sure can link to this post. :)
Thanks!

I just love your patterns. I just started teaching myself to crochet via youtube and it's so nice to find cute but simple patterns a beginner can follow. One question. How can i convert any of these to a smaller ring if I wanted to make smaller ornaments?
ReplyDeleteInstead of buying 2" rings, I use drapery rings. They already have a hole on them inwhich to add an ornament hook, ribbon or other type of hanger. Plus, if you go to the thrift store, they are really cheap! I just purchased a bag of 25 for a quarter!
ReplyDeleteLove all your 'ring' ornaments! This one is pretty, too!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your circle ornaments! I'm trying to rework them without having to use the 2" circles in the middle for something a little smaller. Have you or any of your readers tried these with just magic circles in the middle? I'm having trouble get the stitch count right.
ReplyDeleteI love this design. I posted it to Pinterest under my board crocheted jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI plan on making earrings from it.
Thank you!
I cut out a circle from cardboard and it worked beautifully.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I'm really struggling with Round 3. I keep ending up with too many points. Can anyone advise me where I'm going wrong? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love these patterns! They're easy and pretty too. Please keep creating them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make the snowflakes this evening - can't wait!!! Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo, like a crazy person (who didn't want to go to the store to buy what I didn't have on hand), I used 1/2" rounds, a C (2-2.75mm) hook, and size 10 thread. AND IT's ADORABLE!! Thank you for the pattern :D
ReplyDelete@Olivia Lauder - Make sure you note that there is a "sk 2, sc, sk 2" in between the snowflake points! I almost missed it myself :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Thanks for this pattern! Finally found something to do with all these rings I have leftovers from another project!
ReplyDeleteHi Doni,I just found youg blog. I've been looking for an easy snowflake pattern for so long. So pretty, im getting ready to make lots of these. I don't have the rings but i have lots of white yarn. I'll find something else to use for the rings. Thanks for sharing your pattern
ReplyDeleteMilk jug rings also work perfectly for this project. Keeps the environment a little cleaner in the process.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who can't find a 2" ring: I found 1.5" rings at the craft store. To scale the pattern do 30 sc sts. This will generate 5 snowflake points. Since snowflakes are symmetrical this looked goofy to me, so I modified the pattern a bit to make a 5-pointed star.
ReplyDeleteRound 1) With Yellow, join with a sl st around 1.5” plastic ring, ch 1, 30 sc around ring, join with a sl st to beg sc. Do not turn. (30 sc)
Round 2) Ch 1, sc in same st and sc in next 5 sts, sl st in 6th st, * sc in next 5 sts, sl in 6th st * repeat from * to * around, join with a sl st to beg sc. Do Not turn. (30 sts)
Pattern Note for Round 3: To make picot (mp): Ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook.
Round 3) Ch 1, sc in same st, sk next 2 sts, in next st: dc, dc, dc, mp, dc, dc, dc (1st star point made), sk next 2 sts, *sl st in next st, sk next 2 sts, in next st: dc, dc, dc, mp, dc, dc, dc (next star point made), sk next 2 sts*, repeat from * to * around, join with a sl st to beg sc. End off, weave in ends. Each star point will contain 6 dc's and 1 picot. (5 star points, 5 sl sts)
In a nut shell, this pattern adaptation "smooths out" the snowflake points to look more like triangles, or star points.
Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Really enjoy making these for gifts as ornaments and as napkin rings. I save rings from beverages that come in one gallon jugs (milk, etc.) instead of purchasing rings. They work great...and there are lots of beverages that come in other size bottles with same diameter opening (sports drinks, plastic quarts of cream, etc.). Some friends save them for me, too. I use 2-inch ponytail elastics from the dollar store for them, too. Sometimes use 2 elastics for a little more structure.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, beautiful collection of rings, Keep sharing.

You can also create a larger ring when you start. It's such a nice piece. If you use crochet thread, starch when complete
