So a blog friend sent me a challenge an idea since I have been enjoying crochet lately; some gorgeous snowflakes that are pretty intricate. It is made with a small hook and sock yarn.
I used some of the rabbit yarn from KnitPicks
that was just a leftover ball.
I had many false starts until I figured out what the new stitches were all about. I was pretty proud of myself until I got that sinking feeing---it was supposed to be six-sided!!!!
Of course, I had to make another one so I could end on a successful note! This isn't blocked; I'm wondering if it will make a difference so I will try that today.
I will be making some more of these today also!
Just right for holding a bowl of hot soup or chile!

Cute! I've never seen them made out of sock yarn...rather thin thread and then they are usually starched and blocked. We have quite a few for our Christmas tree from Fletcher's Mom.
ReplyDeleteI used to have several crocheted snowflakes on my tree. I think they are packed up here somewhere-unless the mice ate them. We used to stiffen them with sugar water so they made a tasty snack.
ReplyDeleteI used to make those snowflakes out of #10 crochet cotton. Blocking really did make a difference on those.
ReplyDeleteThe bowl cozy is beautiful. Those would make great gifts.
Cute!!!
ReplyDeletePretty snowflakes! I need to make another bowl cozy since one of mine is too limp to do much good.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! Even the 5 sided one. I knew you could do it, now I wonder if I dare try.
