I know it’s only mid-November and there is no sign of snowflakes in Denmark, but it already feels like Christmas season. Perhaps, it is because all the shops are putting Christmas decorations and Christmas lights are appearing in the neighborhood. But, if you want to make your own Christmas decorations this year, I think that it is not too early to start making them.
In this post, I share my two free patterns for snowflakes, for a small one and for a larger one. They are quick and easy to make and they look pretty good. Both patterns include written descriptions in US terms and a chart, so you could choose what works best for you. I also included the links to my tutorials for all the stitches you will need. If you still have some questions, feel free to contact me and I will try to help you out.
Good luck!
