Crochet a Snow Storm of Snowflakes
pattern and images by Carole Terwilliger Meyers
This is a very easy crochet pattern. I consider this one seasonal and make them fall through winter. As with my other little crochet projects, I indulge during down time when visiting my grandchildren and leave the finished snowflakes behind for them to find as they will and hopefully trigger memories of Grandma. I did discover that kitties really enjoy these snowflakes, too.
