Today you will not just learn how to crochet snowflakes from scratch ... and I will not just give you patterns for doily snowflakes. You'll get HUGE CHARGE of inspiration. Because you will see 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.

So, there will be many interesting ideas. Roll your mouse wheel and dive into this festive world of snowflake knitting.
HOOK SNOWFLAKES - as a decoration for the New Year's table.
Here's an idea crochet Christmas candlesticks I found ... and immediately I wanted to knit such a snowflake for this upcoming new year.
But really there is nothing complicated. You must first tie a ring of air loops ... then tie it with double crochets (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the round). And in the last row, you need to make so many columns - so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMN SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in a repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for a snowflake petal that repeats every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last PATTERN should be a multiple of ten (for example, 60 to create 6 petals or 70 to create 7 petals). Thanks to this, we can boldly start our pattern - and we will be sure that all the petals will fit in a circle without tightness and extra holes.
The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals... and the pattern of each petal is placed on the 5 columns of the bottom row ... This means that in the circular PATTERN 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 we can safely start the pattern.
Also in the decoration of the festive table, crocheted snowflakes can serve as napkins or stands under the legs of glass goblets.
You can also decorate a table 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 according to any convenient and quick pattern - and connect all the snowflakes to each other with rays (just sewing threads). It will turn out a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can do it for table decor elegant hearts with lace ruffles, bows and crocheted snowflake appliqués.
And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful Christmas lamp. The first idea (this is a bag of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We paste over such a paper cone with knitted snowflake napkins ... plug the garland into a socket and look at the beautiful glowing lace.
And the second candlestick is made simply from a tall glass, lace, and crochet snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass it is convenient to use SPAGHETTI PASTA. They burn perfectly - we light a long spaghetti and lower such a “torch” into a glass to the candle wick.
KNITTED SNOWFLAKES-NAPKINS
- as a decor for a gift.
If you have prepared small presents for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it will be good to put them in such jars decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing cute and useful little things in it.
Such a crochet snowflake is simply glued to the wall of the jar with a glue gun.
Also, as New Year's gifts, jars of homemade jam according to grandma's family recipes can be used ... or delicious pickles from a hospitable mother-in-law. H to make jars look like New Year's presents their lids can be decorated, supplemented with such an elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.
SNOWFLAKES crochet
to decorate the Christmas tree.
And you can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree with snowflakes. You can crochet many identical snowflakes - in the same style according to 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 devoted to just such a color choice in the decor of the holiday.
You can show your imagination and make crochet snowflake crafts with original intent. Here's how it is here - not just a snowflake is knitted, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or snowflakes like binding round pieces of postcard.
You can also crochet a snowflake connect with felt base- and we get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background for a white snowflake.
Can inscribe a snowflake in a metal ring and decorate the Christmas tree (or turn it into jewelry). Metal rings can be bought in the sewing section of the store (the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).
DECOR OF NEW YEAR'S CARDS with your own hands
knitted snowflakes.
Often we want to not just 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 to add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped soulless postcards from the store with sincere words - it is better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any scheme, 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.
Snowflake can just stick on(glue stick) ... Or a snowflake can be in put in a through frame-hole cut out in a postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a “window” and not glue the snowflake, but tie it to the postcard for these holes.
Or you can just hang a snowflake on a postcard on a string. 
Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes
or tree branches
New Year's holiday is primarily a Christmas tree. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small desktop Christmas tree - then enough for two skeins of thread for tying it with snowflakes.
Or if instead of a Christmas tree you have only a small composition of spruce branches hanging on the door or wall. That, too, from spruce paws, a golden ribbon and crochet 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 understandable. We simply glue double-sided tape on the wall (silhouette in the shape of a Christmas tree) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get Christmas tree outline on the wall- and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the ropes. If the wall is wooden and you don’t feel sorry for it, then you can stuff small carnations and fasten a garland and snowflakes for them.
Or if you don’t feel sorry for the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland for a Christmas tree.
You can crochet from snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (similar to icicles of ice) and silver birds will serve as an addition to the decor.
Knitted snowflakes can hang ladders from rungs... or fix on the 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 (handy if the cabinet doors move up).
White snowflakes of the same design look good (that is, crocheted according to the same pattern). Such a garland can be fixed just like that on the wall.
And you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to schemes with different patterns and different sizes. It also turns out to be a magical decoration for the New Year holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes in style matches the overall color design of the interior.
Or you can crochet snowflakes on the curtain rod - each on its own twine (as in the photo below).
Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.
SNOWFLAKES in decoration
decorative pendants.
Crocheted openwork beauties can be arranged 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 a few crystal beads ... a medium one ... more beads and a small one.
MODEL #2 - we take a metal ring (you can bend it from a wire) and tie it with hooks with simple single crochets (try it - it's easy - we hook the thread under the edge of the ring and knit a column, 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 the snowflake petal).
Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the go ... and then it is only important that the total number of columns is divisible by six.
And then we knit another snowflake with a crochet - the size is such that it fits inside the ring.
And you can fit a ready-made snowflake into the ring- pull its rays to the ring and secure with threads. These rings with crochet snowflakes can be hung on the window. Or in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.
And knitted snowflakes can be attached 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 it is wound, 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 are sewn to this ribbon.
Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie just crocheting under the hoop) - and then on the scallop of these columns, immediately begin to knit the RAYS of one large snowflake. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake scheme. The scheme for tying such a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden you can take from any snowflake scheme... And just increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.
SCHEMES FOR KNITTING SNOWFLAKES HOOK.
Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes its own pattern of only THREE ELEMENTS ... air loop ... single crochet ... single crochet (or two).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS, then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKES - according to ANY PATTERN.
All these different snowflakes(from the photo above) fit too with the help of THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only airs ... only single crochets ... and only double crochets.
And the pattern is different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.
Like the alternation of notes in music. There are only 7 pieces of notes - and the music is new every time.
Therefore, snowflakes are CONVENIENT TO COMPOSE... just knit in a circle ... and come up with a pattern on the go. All that is needed is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASIC CIRCLE to such a number of columns in a circle - so that it is a MULTIPLE 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 must 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. To make them hard and stale. There are three ways to HARDEN snowflakes - three solutions.
First way. Starch and dry flat. D we make a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tbsp of cold water.
Moisten the snowflake with a starch solution and flattened on a piece of cardboard- and so that the snowflake stretches well, stuck pins- so that the snowflake stretches and does not shrink back - but dries in such a straightened form. Then it will keep its solid form, hardened by starch.
The second way. Candy the snowflake. We make sugar syrup - 16 tablespoons of sugar for 1 glass of water - put everything on fire so that the sugar dissolves. Immerse the snowflake in the syrup. We take it out and put it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - we level the snowflake, we fix it with pins.
The third way. Soak with gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And we 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 on the snowflake with a brush.
HOW TO CONNECT A SNOWFLAKE WITH A HOOK.
Schemes and a master class in a simple pattern.
KNITTING THE SNOWFLAKES starts FROM THE MIDDLE... from the center... and gradually, row after row - round after round the snowflake is overgrown with lacy petals.
What does this process look like? very clearly seen from the master class below... Here it is shown how a snowflake is crocheted according to the pattern. By the way, these are perhaps the fastest snowflakes in knitting - and they keep their shape well even without starching- because they have very clear contour with MULTIPLE piping.
IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or crochet lace, then you can understand the knitting pattern of a snowflake without patterns - JUST FROM THE PHOTO.
After all, not even relatively small photos clearly show all the air loops, single crochets and double crochets. Just bring the snowflake to the printer (you can pre-enlarge the photo) and knit from such a photo sample.
Well, if you are a beginner crochet lace crafter, then here are some pretty simple snowflake patterns for you.
SCHEMES OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.
Snowflake with cones. The bump is easy to create (a lot of crochet is made - but all the crochets are knitted in one loop at once).
And here are a few more diagrams ... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurry and pale form - that I decided to draw their diagrams again in good quality.
Scheme for OPENWORK snowflakes.
And here is beautiful crochet openwork copy of a snowflake. Beautiful holes and neat pipettes along the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned knitting, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The diagram is attached - all the same familiar AIRS ... single crochet ... double crochet ... and that's it. Nothing new - only alternations and quantity.
For beginner craftswomen it will be difficult to figure out how to knit second row on 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 memorized” (see diagram below).
These are such beautiful ideas ... if I still find a beautiful diagram ... or a diagram that inspires me so much that it’s not too lazy to draw it by hand - I will post it in this article below.
In the meantime, for today this is all the treasures of my piggy bank.
Use with pleasure.
Happiness and good luck to you in the New Year.
Let bright thoughts be strong and bring good events and good people to your home.

2. Wrap the star with silver beads. Leave the middle untouched so that the flowers can be inserted.
3. Tie Christmas decorations to the rays of the star.
4. Cut off small pieces of flower sponge and wrap them in bright wrapping paper. Glue the ends of the paper.
5. Decorate the received small gifts with a beautiful ribbon.

7. Insert small “gifts” into the composition (stick a flower wire into each gift, and insert its 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 from artificial flowers. "New Year's gift".
You will need:
- decorative satin ribbon
- decorative organza ribbon
- flower flasks
- floral wire
- golden foil
- checkered fabric
- cloves (can be artificial)

- table tennis balls
1. Make a loop out of the wire and insert it into the table tennis ball.

3. Decorate balloons with chiffon ribbons.
4. Use an elastic band to attach flower flasks to the candle, in which you need to place flowers and needles.
5. Lay the flasks around the candle, pour water into them and insert branches of needles into them, after cutting them so that they are of the same size.
6. Insert Christmas tree branches into test tubes.
7. Insert a candle decorated with 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 flower wire into the Christmas 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 the wire.
DIY Christmas compositions (photo). Christmas tree from 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 sheet of tissue paper.
4. Start folding and twisting each piece of paper in the center (around the paperclip). You should get a rose.
5. Make several roses of different sizes (cut circles of different diameters) to cover the cone.
6. You can make a cone out of cardboard or buy it from a craft store.
7. Start pasting the cone with paper roses. As you work your way up the cone, the rosettes get smaller, so you need to cut 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 is possible)
- tinsel
- glue gun
- spray paint
- decorations (in this example, it is a decorative bird)
Today on the market there is a huge selection of various New Year's compositions. As a rule, such “pleasure” is by no means cheap. We offer to manage money wisely and figure out a simple hanging composition. For crafts from tinsel for the New Year, we will prepare simple details that are available in almost every home.
For crafts from tinsel 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 detail 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 not heavy blanks should be used for the balls. You can use light children's balls by covering them with foil. Or collect papier-mâché balls and wrap them in foil in the same way.
The materials have been prepared, we are starting to make a hanging New Year's composition.
Stages of making crafts from tinsel for the New Year
1. Wrap the frame with rain. The rain is pre-wound on a thin wire.
2. Using a glue gun, glue a 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. In the center of the composition we will fix the fishing line with the ball. The fishing line looks empty and uninteresting, so we roll balls of different diameters from foil and glue them to the fishing line.
6. Glue bows on large balls.
7. You can also add other decorative elements to the fishing line. And “dilute” the green frame with a thread of beads in a contrasting color, for example, red.
Do you want next year to become the warmest and most comfortable, truly family year? Tie yourself comfort.
A great idea is to fill the house with cute knitted things, practical and not so, funny or strict, bright or seasoned in a delicate, restrained palette.
What is needed for that? Desire, mood, skillful hands and a little yarn. Home needlewomen always keep in reserve a few threads of one color or another, lurex, sequins, thin braid - everything will come in handy in New Year's preparations.
Even if knitting did not 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 on the door - from balls or thick knitted fabric, with rain, sparkles, spruce paw.
In the house, right at the entrance, guests are greeted by a magic hat with sweets and small toys, bright pillows made of thick yarn are scattered here and there in the room - you can sit down, relax, play with a small kitten.
Cups with hot tea are waiting on the table - it does not cool down 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 cape on a floor lamp, made by the skillful hands of the hostess, dims the bright light, 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, cones and acorns. Under the Christmas tree - knitted and New Year's socks awaiting gifts - whoever behaved well will receive something magical, unforgettable, warm and cozy!
Decorating a house with knitted textiles is not difficult - just take the yarn in your hands and fantasy, ingenuity will lead you to a fabulous New Year's country.
