Fair Isle Snowflake Ornament Reviewed by Beth Stone on 2011-11-13 ****
I made this on size 5 needles and it was a little bigger than i thought it was going to be but im good with that. I also used a red yarn with green and gold flecks in it and made the snowflake white. I didnt decrease down to 3sts for the i-cord because mine was so much bigger so kept it at 6sts. It will look great hanging next to my fire place. Mine measured about 8 inches tall. I love it. Thanks for the free pattern.
