In general, crocheted snowflakes will be useful in everything that is enough imagination. Today we will learn these useful decorations and learn how to crochet, and schemes and descriptions that will be useful both for beginning needlewomen and professionals who are in search of different versions of snowflakes will help.
Crochet snowflakes - a scheme with a description for beginners
The remarkable news is that the shapes of crocheted snowflakes can be very different, as well as the size, which means it will not be boring to knit them for sure. Moreover, after training practice, new ones in crochet knitting will be able to knit a snowflake according to their own idea, receiving an original and beautiful decoration of their own authorship.
But first, consider a few traditional crochet knitting options for snowflakes. To learn how to crochet patterns that turn into snowflakes, you should follow the following recommendations and schemes.
How to tie the simplest snowflake?
Crocheting snowflakes will also suit beginners in this business, if you choose among easy options of patterns. We present several types of crocheted snowflakes that are easy to knit, if you stick to a detailed description.
Simple crochet snowflake number 1
This snowflake is knitted according to the following scheme and detailed description with a photo:
We make a ring of thread and knit 1 air lift loop.
1 row: we knit 8 non-crocheted posts into the ring, tighten the thread ring and we knit the connecting post by inserting a hook into the 1st post without a single-coat of this row.
2 row:knit 3 lift air loops + 2 air loops according to the pattern (i.e. knit 5 air loops), knit the crochet into the next loop, then knit 2 air loops, * into the next loop 1 crochet, again 2 air loops * from * continue to knit until the end of the row.
We close the row with a connecting column, enter the hook into 3 air lifting loops.
3 row: In order to proceed to knitting from the arch, we will connect 1 connecting column, then 2 lifting air loops, knit 3 double crochets with a common top, then we knit 5 air loops, * into the next arch we knit 4 double crochets with a common top, again 5 air loops *, continue to knit from * to the end of the row. We close the row with a connecting post, introducing a hook into the common top of the posts.
4 row:knit 1 air lift loop and 1 column without nakida in the same loop of the base, knit a picot of 3 air loops, and a column without nakida in the same loop of the base, then knit a pico of 5 air loops, and a column of no knit in the same base loop, knit a picot of 3 air loops and a single crochet column, inserting a hook into the same loop, then we knit 3 air loops * into the common top of the next group of columns we will knit similarly 1 column of a single crochet, pico of 3 air loops, 1 column without nakida, pic from 5 air loops, 1 column without nakida, pic from 3 in Air loops, 1 column without nakida.
Next 3 air loops *. From * we continue to knit until the end of the row. We close the row with a connecting column in the first column without a single crochet of this row. It remains only to hide the tips of the threads and the snowflake is ready!
Let's try crocheting a few more variants of simple snowflakes, and detailed master classes will help us in this.
Simple crochet snowflake number 2
To work with the scheme and the description was easier and more convenient, we use the following abbreviations:
VP- air loop;
PSN- semi-column with a cap;
SSN- A column with 1st double;
Sc - column without nakida;
CC2N- A column with 2 naquida;
SS3N - A column with 3 nakida;
SS - connecting stub.
Scheme and progress of work:
1 row: 4 VP (replacement of 1 SSN + 1 VP), * 1 SSN, 1 VP * 6 times. Tighten the sliding knot. Connect the circle PSN in 3 VP lift series.
2 row: 1 VP, 1 SBN in the same arch, * 5 VP, 1 SBN is knitted into the arch between the CLO of the previous row *. From * to * repeat to the end of the series. The row ends with 1 sc in the arch, 2vp, 1 ssn in the first sc in the beginning of this series. Thus, each new row will begin in the middle of the previous petal.
3 row:4 VP, 1 SCN in the same arch, * 5 VP, in the big arch we knock 1 SBN, 3VP, and in the same arch 1 SBN *. Thus we repeat from * and to * to the last arch. In the last arch of the row, we knit 1 SBN, 3 VP, 1 SBN, and finish the row 2 EP, in the first VP of a lift, we knit 1 CCH. And again you should be in the middle of the petal.
4 row: 4 VP, 1 SCN in the same arch, * 7 VP, in the big arch we knit 1 SBN, 3VP, and in the same arch 1 SBN *. Thus we repeat from * and to * to the last arch. In the last big arch of the row, we knit 1 SBN, 3 VP, 1 SBN, and finish the row 3 VP, in the first VP of a lift we knit 1 CC2H. And again you should be in the middle of the petal.
5 row: 4 VP, 1 SCN in the same arch, * 9 VP, in the big arch we knit 1 SBN, 3VP, and in the same arch 1 SBN *. Thus we repeat from * and to * to the last arch. In the last big arch of the row, we knit 1 SBN, 3 VP, 1 SBN and end a row of 4 VP, in the first VP of a lift we knit 1 SS3H. And again you should be in the middle of the petal.
6 row: 4 VP, in the arch you knit 5 SBN, * 5 VP, in the big arch you knit 5 SBN-3 VP-5 SBN *. So you repeat from * to * to the end of the series. The row ends with 5 sc in the last big arch and the SS in the first 1 VP lift of this row.
We offer another version of the crocheted Christmas snowflake, which is useful in decorating the house.
Simple crochet snowflake number 3
It is necessary to start knitting from the center, and this can be done in two ways:
- We make a chain of several air loops, we connect it into a ringlet and knit further.
we wind the ring on the finger from the thread and tie it with columns without nakida; - We collect 5 air loops and close the ring. We knit the connecting column and 3 air loops of the first row.
Again we make a connecting column and three air loops, closing the arc with a connecting column. To make it clearer, we look periodically in the photo below.
There should be 6 such arcs. Close the row with connecting stub.
We tie the first arch-arc: 1 column without nakida, 3 air loops, 2 columns without nakida.
We also tie the second and third archs: 2 columns without a nakida, 3 air loops and 2 columns without a nakida.
Repeat three more times. This can finish the master class for beginners. We already had a delicate little star. But let's try to tie it even more and more beautiful.
Start the third row with a connecting bar. Next report row: 1 column without nakida, 3 air loops, 1 column without nakida, 5 air loops, 1 column without nakida, 3 air loops, 1 column without nakida, 2 air loops.
Repeat the report of a row 5 more times.
We have a crocheted openwork snowflake, which can be starched and hung on a Christmas tree.

PSSN - semi-column with cap.
Knit a snowflake:
Notice that at the beginning of the row, instead of the columns, we knit the VI.
CCH = 3VP; Sc = 1vp.
We start with the ring.
1 row:* 2CCH with a common vertex, 3VP * x 5 times, SS;
2 row:* (1СБН, 5ВП, 1СБН) - in one loop, 4ВП) * х 5 times, SS;
3 row:3CC, in an arch from 5VP - 2SSN, 2VP, under an arch from 4VP - 1СБН, 2ВП
* (2CCH, 3VP, 2CCH) - under 5VP, 2VP, 1СБН under the trail. archway, 2VP) * x 4 times.
The end of the series - 2SSN in the first arch with which the series began, 1ВП, 1ПССН in the third VP;
4 row: under the newly connected PSSN - (1СБН, П5, 1СБН, П3), 2ВП, 1СБН - in the 2nd CCH, P3, 2ВП, under СНН - СС. Half ray knit.
The following five knit the same.
We continue to knit after SS
* 2VP, 1SBN knit in CCH, P3, 2VP, under the arch - (1SBN, P3, 1SBN, P5, 1SBN, P3), 2VP, 1SBN in 2nd CCH, P3, 2VP, under SCN - SS *.
Five rays were tied up, and the sixth is tied up - 2VP, 1SBN, P3, 2VP, under the 1st arch - 1SBN, P3, SS.
The thread is fastened and cut. Snowflake ready!
Another variant of crocheted snowflake might look like this:
Abbreviations for description:
P6 - picot from 6 VP;
SP - connecting loop;
SB - single crochet;
VP - air loop;
SSN - double crochet.
Knit a snowflake:
At the beginning of knitting snowflakes type a chain of 6VP. Do not forget about the replacement of the first posts VP:
- 3VP equal 1CCN;
- 1VP is 1СБН.
1 row: 1VP, 11SSN, SP;
2 row:(2CCH, 3VP) - 6 repetitions, SP;
3 row: (2СБН to the tops of the second row CCH, under the arch - 2CCN, 4VP, 2СН) - 6 repetitions, SP;
4 row:(2SP, in two CCH we knit 2SBN, under the arch - 1СБН, П6, 1СБН, 1ССН, trefoil from picot (П6), 1СНН, 1СБН, П6, 1СБН, 2СБН in СН 3rd row, 1ВП, skip two loops) - 6 repetitions , Sp.
All excess threads are removed, securing them, and cut off.
Stitched openwork motif, align and fix with pins, give dry. The crochet snowflake is ready.
