New Year's decor ideas with knitted items. New Year's composition from Olga Andreeva Snowflakes in decoration
Good afternoon - today I am uploading THE BIGGEST article on ideas for crafts made from knitted snowflakes. Today you won't just learn how to crochet snowflakes from scratch... and I won't just give you snowflake napkin patterns. You'll get HUGE CHARGE OF INSPIRATION. Because you will see EXACTLY HOW knitted snowflakes can be used to decorate the New Year's holiday.
That's what we'll do
- Candlesticks and napkins from knitted snowflakes.
- Snowflake pendants(framed, with beads, on a frame)
- Christmas tree decorations with crocheted snowflakes.
- Snowflakes to decorate the New Year's table(tablecloths, coasters, ring)
- Crochet snowflakes – applications for New Year's cards.
- Snowflakes-garlands crochet for interior decoration.
- Using snowflakes on Christmas wreaths.
So there will be a lot of interesting ideas. Spin your mouse wheel and dive into this festive world of snowflake knitting creativity.
SNOWFLAKES CROCHET - as a decoration for the New Year's table.
Here's an idea crochet New Year's candlesticks I found it... and immediately wanted to knit such a snowflake for this upcoming New Year.
But there really is nothing complicated. You need to first knit a ring of chain stitches... then tie it with double crochets (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the circle). And in the last row you need to make so many columns so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMNA SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in the repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for the petal of a snowflake whose repetition begins with every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last PATTERN must be a multiple of ten (for example, 60 - to create 6 petals or 70 - to create 7 petals). Thanks to this, we can safely start our pattern - and we will be sure that all the petals will fit in a circle without cramping or extra holes.
The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals.... and the pattern of each petal is placed on 5 columns of the bottom row... This means that in the circular DOZOR ROW we will have to bring the total number of columns in the circle to 40 (because 8 times 5 is 40) - and only after that can we safely begin the pattern.
Also, crocheted snowflakes can be used to decorate a holiday table. serve as napkins-cup holders or coasters for glass stems.
You can also decorate a napkin ring with a knitted snowflake. The ring itself can be cut from a strip of fabric (or regular tape).
You can crochet a lot of snowflakes using any convenient and quick pattern - and connect all the snowflakes together with rays (just sewing threads). You will get a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can make it for table decoration elegant hearts with lace ruffles, bows and snowflake appliqués made with crochet.
And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful New Year's lamp. The first idea (this is a bag made of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We cover such a paper cone with knitted snowflake napkins... plug the garland into a power outlet and look at the beautiful glowing lace.
And the second candlestick is made simply from a tall glass, lace, and crocheted snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass convenient to use SPAGHETTI MACARONI. They burn well - we light a long piece of spaghetti and lower such a “splinter” into a glass towards the candle wick.
KNITTED SNOWFLAKES NAPKINS
– as decor for a gift.
If you have prepared small gifts for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it would be good to put them in jars like these, decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing dear and useful little things in it.
This snowflake is simply crocheted to the wall of the jar with a glue gun.
Also, jars of homemade jam according to your great-grandmother’s family recipes can be used as New Year’s gifts... or delicious pickles from your hospitable mother-in-law. H to make the jars look like New Year's presents their lids can be decorated with this elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.
Crochet SNOWFLAKES
for decorating the New Year tree.
You can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree itself with snowflakes. You can crochet many identical snowflakes - in the same style using the same pattern. The colors red and white look beautiful - bright and festive.
And in general, the New Year in red style is beautiful. On our website there is a separate article dedicated to this particular color choice in holiday decor.
You can show your imagination and make crocheted snowflake crafts with an original idea. This is how it is here - not just a crocheted snowflake, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or like snowflakes tying round pieces of postcard.
You can also crochet a snowflake connect to felt base- and we get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background like a white snowflake.
Can fit a snowflake into a metal ring and decorate the Christmas tree (or turn it into jewelry). Metal rings can be purchased in the sewing department of the store (the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).
DIY NEW YEAR CARDS DECOR
knitted snowflakes.
Often, we don't just want to say warm greetings out loud... but we want our holiday wishes to remain in the form of text on a card. Then the creative work of our caring hands will help add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped, soulless postcards from the store with heartfelt words? It’s better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any pattern, thin threads and a small hook will help us create a miniature openwork snowflake - which will look gentle on the surface of a New Year's card.
You can have a snowflake just stick it on(with adhesive pencil) ... Or you can use a snowflake in Place it in a through-hole frame cut out in the postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a “window” and not glue the snowflake in, but tie it to the postcard using these holes.
Or you can simply hang a snowflake on a card on a string. 
Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes
or tree branches
The New Year holiday is, first of all, a TREE. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small tabletop Christmas tree, then two skeins of thread are enough for tying it with snowflakes.
Or if instead of a Christmas tree you only have a small composition of spruce branches hanging on the door or wall. This is also made from spruce legs, golden ribbon and crocheted snowflakes.
Snowflakes can also decorate a flat fake Christmas tree on the wall. How to make such a Christmas tree from a garland is quite clear. We simply glue double-sided tape to the wall (silhouette in the shape of a Christmas tree) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get tree outline on the wall– and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the strings. If the wall is wooden and you don’t mind it, then you can stuff small nails and attach a garland and snowflakes to them.
Or, if you don’t mind the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland for the New Year tree.
You can crochet snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (icicles similar to pieces of ice) and silver birds will complement the decor.
Knitted snowflakes hang from the rungs of a stepladder... or fasten them to a ceiling beam (so that they hang beautifully over the New Year's table).
Garland of crocheted snowflakes.
Snowflakes can be knitted from colored threads and hung on a string above the fireplace... or along the doorway... or along the top cabinet in the kitchen (convenient if the cabinet doors slide up).
White snowflakes of the same design (that is, crocheted according to the same pattern) look good. This garland can be simply attached to the wall.
Or you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to patterns with different patterns and different sizes. It also turns out to be a magical decoration for the New Year's holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes matches the overall color design of the interior.
Or you can hang snowflakes with a hook on the curtain rod - each on its own string (as in the photo below).
Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.
SNOWFLAKES for decoration
decorative pendants.
Crocheted openwork beauties can be decorated into a one-piece pendant design. Here are two models of such a snowflake.
MODEL #1 – We knit snowflakes in three sizes – large, medium and small. And we string them on a thread - first a large one, then several crystal beads... a medium one... more beads and a small one.
MODEL No. 2 – take a metal ring (you can bend it from wire) and tie it with hooks using simple single crochet stitches (try this - it’s easy - hook the thread under the edge of the ring and crochet a stitch as usual). The number of columns on the ring must be adjusted to such a number - so that it is a multiple of the rapport (the size of the repeating pattern - the size of a snowflake petal).
Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the fly... and then it is only important that the total number of columns be divided by six.
And then we crochet another snowflake - the size is such that it fits inside the ring.
You can also fit the ready-made snowflake into the ring– pull its rays to the ring and secure with threads. These crocheted rings with snowflakes can be hung on the window. Either in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.
You can also attach knitted snowflakes to a hair hoop - and we will get a beautiful kokoshnik crown for the Snow Maiden for a matinee in kindergarten.
The hoop must first be wrapped with a white ribbon... and as you wrap it, the ribbon must be secured with a thread and a needle (so that the layers of the ribbon do not slip off) - and then hard starched (or candied) knitted snowflakes must be sewn to this ribbon.
Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie simply by crocheting under the hoop) - and then on the comb of these columns start knitting the RAYS of one large snowflake at once. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake pattern. You can find a diagram for tying such a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden take snowflakes from any diagram... And simply increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.
PATTERNS FOR CROCHING SNOWFLAKES.
Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes on its own pattern of just THREE ELEMENTS... chain stitch... single crochet... single crochet (or double crochet).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS, then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKE - according to ANY PATTERN.
All these different snowflakes(from photo above) knitted too using THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only double crochets... only single crochets... and only double crochets.
But the pattern turns out different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.
Like alternating notes in music. There are only 7 notes – and the music is new every time.
Therefore, snowflakes are CONVENIENT TO COMPOSE... just knit in the round... and come up with a pattern as you go. All you need is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASIC CIRCLE to such a number of columns in the circle - that it is a MULTIPLE of the number of rays (that is, divided by the number of rays without a remainder)….
For example six-ray snowflakes– the number of loops in the base circle (round middle) should be 18... or 24... or 30... or 36... or 42... or 48... and so on. That is, the number of columns in the circle should be divisible by 6.
HOW TO DRY snowflakes.
(and how to make them hard - 3 ways)
And another main secret - after knitting snowflakes they need to be shaped. So that they are hard and callous. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.
First way. Starch and dry flat. D We eat a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tablespoon of cold water.
Moisten the snowflake with starch solution and flattened on a sheet of cardboard- and so that the snowflake stretches well, stuck pins- so that the snowflake stretches and does not shrink back - but dries in this straightened form. Then it will retain its solid form, hardened by starch.
Second way. Sugar a snowflake. Make sugar syrup - 1 glass of water for 16 tablespoons of sugar - put everything on the fire so that the sugar dissolves. Dip the snowflake into the syrup. We take it out, place it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - flatten the snowflake, secure it with pins.
Third way. Soak in gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And prepare the solution according to the instructions on the bag (soak, then heat until the gelatin dissolves - and immerse the snowflake in the gelatin syrup... or apply the syrup to the snowflake with a brush.
HOW TO CROCHET A SNOWFLAKE.
Schemes and master class in a simple pattern.
KNITTING A SNOWFLAKE starts FROM THE MIDDLE... from the center... and gradually row by row - circle by circle the snowflake is overgrown with lace petals.
What does this process look like? very clearly visible from the master class below... Here you can see how a snowflake is crocheted according to the pattern. By the way, these are probably the fastest snowflakes to knit - and they keep their shape well even without starching- due to the fact that they have very clear contour with MULTI-ROW piping.
IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or lace, then you can understand the snowflake knitting pattern without patterns - JUST BY THE PHOTO.
After all, even in relatively small photos, all the air loops, single crochets and double crochets are clearly visible. Just print the snowflake on the printer (you can enlarge the photo beforehand) and knit from such a photo sample.
Well, if you are a beginner crochet lace craftswoman, then here are some snowflake patterns that are quite easy to implement.
DIAGRAMS OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.
Snowflake with cones. The bump is created easily (many yarn overs are made - but all yarn overs are knitted into one loop at once).
And here are a few more diagrams... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurred and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.
Scheme for openwork snowflakes.
But he's beautiful openwork crochet snowflake. Beautiful holes and neat little piping around the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned crochet, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The diagram is attached - all the same familiar CHAIRS... single crochet... double crochet... and that's it. Nothing new - just alternations and quantity.
For beginner knitters it will be difficult to figure out how to knit second row in the diagram above. There are long rays-arches along the edges of which loops of air are scattered. Therefore, below I give a picture with step by step description knitting this complex second row with rays.
The red dots are the loop that we “mentally remembered” (see diagram below).
These are such beautiful ideas... if I still find a beautiful diagram... or a diagram that will inspire me so much that I won’t be lazy to draw it manually, I will post it in this article below.
In the meantime, these are all the treasures in my piggy bank for today.
Use it with pleasure.
Wishing you happiness and good luck in the New Year.
Let bright thoughts be strong and bring good events and good people into your home.

I want something special for the New Year. I want to decorate my house with different lights and decorations.
Very beautiful compositions you can do it yourself and decorate your home with them. This will give the house even more originality and beauty.
Beautiful interior design will create a fabulous atmosphere and will make the New Year holidays unforgettable.
New Year's compositions (master class). New Year's star made of flowers.
Such a colorful and lush composition in the shape of a star can decorate any interior.
It can also be used as gift for friends or family.
In this example, the star is purple, but you can choose a different shade of flowers and Christmas decorations.
You will need:
– 3 eustoma flowers
- flower sponge
- branches from the Christmas tree (natural or artificial)
- pink ribbon
- thick and aluminum wire
- thin and aluminum wire
- New Year's toys (balls)
- wrapping paper with a pattern
- flower wire
- jewelry (in this example, these are silver beads on a thin wire)
- knife, scissors, pruning shears.
1. First we need to make a frame for our composition. Bend the thick wire to make a star.
2. Wrap the star in silver beads. Leave the middle untouched so you can insert the flowers.
3. Tie Christmas tree decorations to the rays of the star.
4. Cut small pieces of flower sponge and wrap them in brightly colored wrapping paper. Glue the ends of the paper together.
5. Decorate the small gifts you receive with a beautiful ribbon.
6. Insert flowers into the middle of the flower and cover them with Christmas tree branches. Secure the entire structure with tape.
7. Insert small “gifts” into the composition (insert a floral wire into each gift and insert the other end into a sponge).
8. Add twigs and sticks and you can put the bouquet in a vase or hang it somewhere.
New Year's compositions made of artificial flowers. "New Year's gift."
You will need:
- decorative satin ribbon
- decorative organza ribbon
- flower flasks
- flower wire
- gold foil
- checkered fabric
- carnations (can be artificial)
- New Year's decorations (balls)
- table tennis balls.
1. Make a loop out of the wire and insert it into the table tennis ball.
2. Wrap the ball in foil and decorate with foil, organza and raffia.
3. Decorate the balloons with chiffon ribbons.
4. Use an elastic band to attach flower flasks to the candle, into which you will then place flowers and pine needles.
5. Place the flasks around the candle, pour water into them and insert branches of pine needles into them, having previously trimmed them so that they are the same size.
6. Insert Christmas tree branches into the test tubes.
7. Insert a candle decorated with pine needles into a bag made of checkered fabric. In order to make such a bag, you will need cotton wool or paper to fill it with. Since the bag was pre-tied with raffia, it will hold its shape.
8. Prepare cut cloves and insert them into flasks filled with water.
9. Insert the floral wire into the Christmas tree balls and decorate the entire composition with the resulting blank. Decorate the balls with raffia.
10. You can decorate the New Year's bag with fir cones, into which you also insert wire.
DIY New Year's compositions (photo). Christmas tree made of napkins.
You will need:
- three-layer paper napkins
- stapler
- cardboard
1. Prepare a napkin (which is already folded in four) and scissors, draw a circle on the napkin and cut it out.
2. Staple in the middle
3. Fold back one piece of napkin at a time.
4. Start folding and curling each leaf in the center (around the paperclip). You should now have a rose.
5. Make several roses of different sizes (cut circles of different diameters) to cover the cone.
6. You can make a cone from cardboard or buy it at a craft store.
7. Start covering the cone with paper roses. As you go up the cone from bottom to top, the roses become smaller, so you need to cut out smaller circles.
8. You can decorate the Christmas tree.
New Year's compositions on the table. "Nest".
You will need:
- a wreath woven from branches (any round shape can be used)
- tinsel
- glue gun
- spray paint
- decorations (in this example it is a decorative bird)
Today there is a huge selection of different New Year's compositions on the market. As a rule, such “pleasure” is by no means cheap. We suggest you use your money wisely and come up with a simple hanging arrangement. For crafts made from tinsel for the New Year, we will prepare simple details that are available in almost every home.
To make tinsel crafts for the New Year you need:
- green rain, tinsel
- scissors
- glue gun or Moment glue
- fishing line
- various decor
- and, in fact, the main detail of the composition is the frame (a part from a children’s helicopter). The frame can be made of wire.
Depending on the material from which the frame is made, balls are made. If the frame is plastic, then you need to use light blanks for the balls. You can use lightweight children's balls, covering them with foil. Or collect papier-mâché balls and wrap them in foil as well.
The materials are prepared, let's start making the hanging New Year's composition.
Stages of making crafts from tinsel for the New Year
1. Wrap the frame with rain. Pre-wind the rain onto a thin wire.
2. Using a glue gun, glue fishing line of different lengths to the balls to create a cascade effect.
3. Glue a string of small silver beads on top of the rain. We do not tighten the beads too much.
4. Attach a loop to the top of the frame.
5. Attach a fishing line with a ball in the center of the composition. The fishing line looks empty and uninteresting, so we roll up balls of different diameters from foil and glue them to the fishing line.
6. Glue bows onto the large balloons.
7. You can also add other decorative elements to the fishing line. And the green frame is “diluted” with a thread of beads of a contrasting color, for example, red.
Do you want next year to be the warmest and most comfortable, truly family year? Make yourself comfortable.
A great idea is to fill your home with cute knitted things, practical and not very practical, funny or strict, bright or in a gentle, restrained palette.
What is needed for that? Desire, mood, skillful hands and a little yarn. Homemade needlewomen always keep in reserve a little thread of one color or another, lurex, sequins, thin braid - everything will come in handy in pre-New Year preparations.
Even if knitting doesn’t work out, ready-made knitted sweaters, old scarves, socks, hats and mittens will be used.
Where can knitted things be interesting? Long striped scarves can be wrapped around tree trunks at the entrance, thin crocheted rings are woven into a chain garland in front of the front door. The original one on the door is made of balls or thick knitted fabric, with rain, sparkles, and a spruce paw.
In the house, right at the entrance, guests are greeted by a magic hat with candies and small toys, bright pillows made of thick yarn are scattered here and there in the room - you can sit down, relax, and play with a little kitten.
Cups of hot tea are waiting on the table - it does not get cold in woolen vests, next to it is a teapot decorated with clothes made of multi-colored yarn, cutlery in the original packaging. Christmas tree napkins, cases for pencils and pens, knitted candlesticks. A floor lamp cape made from the skillful hands of the housewife dims the bright light and creates a romantic, magical mood.
A small neat Christmas tree is also not simple - the decorations on it are knitted: Christmas trees, snowmen, snowflakes, garlands, balls, Christmas bells, exotic fruits, pine cones and acorns. Under the Christmas tree there are knitted clothes and New Year's socks waiting for gifts - those who behaved well will receive something magical, unforgettable, warm and cozy!
Decorating a house with knitted textiles is not difficult - just pick up the yarn and your imagination and ingenuity will lead you to a fabulous New Year's land.
