Let's try to crochet a few more options simple snowflakes, and will help us with this detailed master classes.

Simple crochet snowflake No. 2


To make working with the diagram and description easier and more convenient, we will use the following abbreviations:

VP - air loop;
PSN – half double crochet;
CCH – double crochet;
RLS – single crochet;
СС2Н – double crochet stitch;
СС3Н – double crochet stitch;
SS – connecting column.

Scheme and progress of work:


1st row: 4 VP (replacing 1 CCH + 1 VP), * 1 CCH, 1 VP* 6 times. Tighten the slip knot. Connect the circle of PSN in 3 VP row lifting.

2nd row: 1 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, * 5 VP, 1 RLS we knit into the arch between the DCS of the previous row*. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row. The row ends with 1 sc in the arch, 2 ch, 1 sc in the first sc at the beginning of this row. Thus, each new row will begin in the middle of the previous petal.

3rd row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, * 5 VP, in a large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS *. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 2 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 RLS. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.

4th row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, *7 VP, in a large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS*. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 3 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 CC2H. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.

5 row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, *9 VP, in the large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS*. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 4 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 SS3N. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.

6th row: 4 VP, in the arch you knit 5 RLS, * 5 VP, in the large arch you knit 5 RLS-3 VP-5 RLS*. In this way, repeat from * to * until the end of the row. The row ends with 5 sc in the last large arch and SS in the first 1 ch of lifting this row.

We offer another crochet option New Year's snowflakes, which will be useful in decorating your home.

Simple crochet snowflake No. 3


You need to start knitting from the center, and you can do this in two ways:

  1. We make a chain of several air loops, connect it into a ring and knit further.
    we wind a ring on a finger from a thread and tie it with single crochets;
  2. We cast on 5 air loops and close the ring. We knit a connecting post and 3 chain stitches of the first row.

Again we make a connecting post and three air loops, closing the arc with a connecting post. To make it clearer, we periodically look at the photo below.

There should be 6 such arcs. Close the row with a connecting post.

We tie the first arch: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 2 single crochets.

We also tie the second and third arch: 2 single crochets, 3 chain stitches and 2 single crochets.

We repeat three more times. This concludes the master class for beginners. We have already created an openwork little star. But let's try to knit it even more and more beautifully.

Start the third row with a connecting post. Next is the row report: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 5 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 2 chain stitches.

Repeat the row report 5 more times.

We got an openwork crocheted snowflake that can be starched and hung on a Christmas tree.

Video lesson

Visual lessons always come to the aid of beginners in such a difficult task as crocheting, which help to avoid the simplest mistakes and pay attention to important points, which master classes in photographs do not always fully convey. This video tutorial will help you crochet a snowflake even for those craftswomen who are taking it up for the first time in their lives.

Using an example of a fairly simple and beautiful pattern"Snowflake" let's learn to read diagrams jacquard patterns and knit them! This snowflake can be used to decorate any warm item – a sweater, hat or mittens! So, let's begin.

Dear needlewomen! I want to warn you that I knit loops " grandma's way» - behind the back wall of the loop. This method is not classical, and in many sources the products are knitted in the “classical way”. Read more about methods of knitting loops.

Here is a diagram of our pattern (click for a closer look). One cell - one loop. Horizontally - horizontal rows, vertically - vertical.

For the pattern we will need 28 loops + 2 for the edge (first and last) loops, which cannot be included in the pattern, since after a row, as you remember, they are removed.

As you can see, the first row is knitted with a thread of the same color, which is what we do. Since the color pattern begins from the next row, we do not knit this row to the end...

And the thread is pink.

Turn the knitting over. We have .

Further according to the pattern, we follow from cell 1.1 in the direction of knitting, that is, from right to left, - two green loops. Next we will change the color - we lower the green thread down so that it does not interfere with us. And we put a pink thread on the index finger - now we have it working. DO NOT PULL! It should lie freely so as not to tighten the fabric. Be careful and follow this rule throughout the entire knitting pattern - make sure that the thread is not stretched, this is a common mistake when knitting jacquards.

Be sure to bring the pink thread down so it doesn't end up on the right side. And we knit 2 green ones.

Turn the knitting over. Now we have the front side - the thread broaches remain on the wrong side. Remove the edge loop. Next we knit according to the pattern, starting from cell 2.28, now against the direction of knitting, that is, from left to right.

One is pink. Don’t forget to lower the threads after knitting, only now BEHIND the knitting.

One is green. And so on according to the scheme. Don’t forget that we knit front rows from right to left, and purl rows from left to right (this doesn’t always happen, it all depends on the pattern and pattern, sometimes it happens the other way around). I think that you understand everything and will figure it out on your own, and nothing will be complicated. I would like to give just one more piece of advice - the threads will inevitably twist together, unwind them by knitting each row, at least less often, so that there is no excessive tension on the threads.

Do you remember the words of the song to which Cinderella and the Prince waltz? All in a white dress, like a little lace snowflake. To the gentle music and crystal tinkling of wonderful shoes.

Don't you remember? Well, of course, where do you hear it from? Nobody knows it except me: I composed it many years ago, in my distant childhood, and performed it only in the presence of pots and pans.

But I wanted to start this article with this verse. Because unlike their snowy brothers from the song, snowflakes, which will be discussed in our article, can and will dance in the warmth of candles. Today we are talking about knitted snowflakes. And not only are we talking - we will also knit them - ourselves, with crochet.

So let's get started.

At the end of the article you will find patterns for knitting similar snowflake lace.

Lacy snowflakes as a knitted decoration for cards.

Christmas and New Year cards With good wishes for the coming year - they are always attached to the gift as a matter of course.

But postcards that you make yourself, with an openwork crocheted snowflake pasted on your nickname, will keep the memory of you for many years.

We decorate the windows with crocheted snowflakes.

Remember how in childhood we liked to cut out snowflakes from paper and glue them to the glass with soap. After New Year's celebrations we tore them from the cold windows, washed away their soapy outlines, so that the next Christmas weekend we could again cut out new snow laces from paper. But you can make sure that the window is decorated with eternal snowflakes. Look at the photo how these beautiful and elegantly crocheted snowflakes decorate the window. They can simply be attached to thin threads, or you can stretch such a rounded snowflake onto a round wire frame or an embroidery hoop. Each year you can add one snowflake to your window family of lace crystals.

New Year's balls tied with snowflakes.

Just look at these exquisite Christmas balls. How sophisticated handmade. Such balls, tied with lace, knitted according to the same patterns as snowflakes, can be safely given to friends and acquaintances for the Christmas holidays.
