February 6, 2014 is the first official "Make a Snowflake Day"!  What do you plan to make?  

I will be making another Sister Snowflake in honor of the day but I don't know what others I will make on that day.

Here are some that I have made in the last several days, included in this group of my flakes is one I designed and another that Snowcatcher designed for a group I belong to called Sisters of the Snowflake.  You can check us out here.

I found this one here.

And found this one here.

and another one here

This is Sister Snowflake that Snowcatcher
shared with only a group I belong to called
Sisters of the Snowflake

This is the pic on the Sister Snowflake pattern.
Pinning sure can make a difference as you
compare my pinning of this snowflake
and Snowcatcher's pinning.

This is my creation and named Sailor's Heart Snowflake in hone of my Dad who was awarded the Purple Heart during WW2.  You can find the pattern here, in and earlier post.

Cedar Rapids Snowflake,
found  here.

This snowflake is an adaption of a Star Dream Catcher.
 I don't remember where I found the pattern but
 all I can find is this for it but it is not free, you can find the offer here.
But while there I found a free pattern for another snowflake here.

And you can find the pattern for this one I made here.

I just had to add some hearts to my window because its February and February always means hearts to me!

Snowflake pattern

I promised you my snowflake pattern.

The original snowflake pattern for "small snowflake" that I found online somewhere is:

Rnd. 1     Into magic circle chain 3, 11 dc, sl st into ch 3
Rnd 2      *Ch 3 skip next dc, sl st in next dc -repeat from * around and fasten off
                but for my larger snowflake but for mine  don't fasten off.
Rnd 3       Ch 5, sl st in top of Ch 3 space of previous round 5 times, ch 2, dc in last ch 3 space
Rnd 4       Ch 4, dc, hdc, sc in post of dc in last round, (sc, hdc, dc, tr, dtr, ch 3
                 and sc in top of dtr, tr, dc, hdc, sc) in next 5 ch 3s of previous round.
                 in ch 2 space of last round sc, hdc, dc, tr, dtr, sc in
                 top of dtr,  and sl st in top of  ch 4 that started this round.  fasten off

stiffen with white glue, sprinkle with glitter and let dry.

Enjoy on your tree!

And remember to not make the mistake I made with my snowflake!!  Can you find it??  I have 7 points on my snowflake instead of the 6 that should be if you follow the pattern.  How I did this, I don't know but it is not the first time and certainly won't be the last.


I made a sweater and cap for my grandson's teddy bear!  They sent me a pic of it so I have to share!  The cute little boy here is my only grandson, Eddie!!
