Snowflake Ornament

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Sportweight

GAUGE:

Chain of 20 sts = 4 inches. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Snowflake Ornament Reviewed by Susan on 2011-11-19 *****
I enjoyed making all five of these snowflakes. They are a bit bigger than I had first expected, about five inches in diameter. I think if you string them together it would make a really lovely Christmas decoration for a mantle. Use a small hook and light weight yarn to make more'ornament' size snowflake. I still give it a five, as there were no mistakes and it was fun and easy!
