Crocheted Snow Swirls




With just a little bit of size 10 crochet thread you can make these simple little swirls which add a bit of whimsy to your tree or gifts.

With a size b hook, chain 31

1.) 2 single crochet in second chain from hook
and across - 60 single crochets
chain 1, turn
2.) 1 single crochet in each stitch across,
chain 1, turn
3.) 2 single crochet in each stitch across
and fasten off.

That's it, so very easy, so very cute!
With a squirt of spray adhesive you can add glitter for a sparkle.

  1. Hi, the other night, I googled images of crochet snowflakes, I found your blog, and instantly became a follower. I am learning how to crochet, but I use plastic bags instead of yarn right now... I don't read patterns very well, my brain has a hard time understanding them. so I usually just copy the Idea. Tonight I followed your little instructions on this hanging ornament, and mine turned out great, (made of plastic bags). Thank you for the idea! You are now one of my favorites! Karyn

  2. My mom crochets beautifully and I have yet to learn. This project seems very doable though. I'll have to try it soon.

  4. Oooooh, it's all coming back to me! I used to crochet years ago, and as i read your instructions the fog began to clear :) Might try to find my old knitting/crocheting box and see what I can do. These ornaments are so great...and would compliment the ones my gram made!

    thanks for joining the party...

  8. I have never being into crochet but these are definitely a keepsake.
    Just an fyi most people are not getting the correct info in their reader-my updates are over 2 weeks old and I have made multiple other posts. I've been on with Google multiple times and they don't have an answer and I am not getting everyones updates in my reader either.

  10. What a great idea! So simple I just made one and then had the idea that they would be really pretty if sprayed with glitter that would make them sparkle when placed on the tree!!! Also cute hanging on the switch of a light. Took me maybe 10 min. to make one. Thanks for the pattern. Would also be cute as a decoration on a package.

  14. I am just getting back into crocheting, also and very excited about this cute little pattern. I am going to try it with a two colored thread. I make Toilet Paper Covers that I learned when I lived in Idaho but have no pattern, so they are unique every time! So cute with ribbon and an artificial flower on the back of the toilet. Happy crocheting to everyone. Bev in SC

  16. I just found your website and I am very interested in your doily crochet patterns. I have done a lot of doilies over the years but have kind of gotten away from it. Seeing your site has given me a new interest in finding my hooks and get at crocheting again.

  17. A little suggestion, a person could use some filament thread with the crochet cotton for twinkle.

  23. I just want you to know that this blog has just made my day with the prayer that has been published to give this day to the Lord Jesus Christ. With all the tragedy from the horrible storm in the Eastern section of our country it has been a reminder that God is still in control and we have the blessing to know that God cares more than we do for the poor people that are affected by it. THANK YOU!

  24. You can add a wire or pipe cleaner though these too so you can bind them into a candycane shape.

  25. I just finished my first one but but 4 year old grandson found my jingle bells and insisted i put a bell on it.I put it on the top but I think the next one I am going to try on the bottom.I also have some smaller pony beads and was thinking about using some of them also.

  26. OOOHHHH!!! I like the pony beads idea! Maybe little colored glass beads would be fun. And they'ed cath the lights! Oh now I have to make these. My grandma taught me to crochet when I was little. I am sooo grateful for that.

  30. I am thinking of using Aunt Lydia's silver or gold metallic size 10 thread for these little gems. I think it will add a nice extra sparkle! It is such a cute pattern! My three granddaughters will love the ones I intend to make for them!

  34. unborn children don't need SPIRITUAL adoption, they need REAL adoption!! Would you be willing to actually adopt and care for a child who would be aborted otherwise?
