Get creative and crochet your own Christmas Tree decorations by starting with this absolutely gorgeous crochet Julia snowflake.
Julia crochet snowflake is a pretty textured snowflake that is so much fun to make around the holidays. It’s delicate, beautiful, and looks so great in different colors, make lots of them in colors that match your holiday colors or in unexpected colors for Christmas gifts.
The best part of this crochet Julia snowflake is that it doesn’t need stiffing and I love that! The texture of this crochet Julia snowflake makes it stiff enough so you won’t need to try all these techniques which might work or not. By the way, what do you use for stiffing? Please share your tricks with me I might need it in the future!
Here is a photo with my boy thinking if he should kill the tree or not! The first time when I put up the tree in the first 10 minutes he knocked it down three times! It was such a chaos! He was attacking the tree, playing with the ornaments, chewing the tree lights, he was in the full ferocious feline mood! It was a few funny days: he knocking down the tree and me putting it up again and again. In time he got used to it and now he just sits and stares at it!
For the crochet Julia snowflake you will need:
For this project, I’ve used the ( 5 g for each snowflake) (50g= 282m/ 1.76oz= 308 yards) and a 1.75 mm hook.
The Daphne cotton yarn is a great mercerized cotton yarn of the highest quality perfect for projects on thin hooks. This yarn has a fantastic color intensity as mercerized yarn absorbs color better. In addition, the glossy surface gives the colors an exceptional depth. The yarn is especially suitable for crocheting lace, tablecloths, placemats, fine crochet decorations, and much more.
Here you can buy this great yarn:
