I love these snowflakes! This is the first time I've crocheted with thread and a steel hook... before that, the finest yarn I had used was sock yarn. I've done two snowflakes so far, and they've both come out great. Each was using #10 thread with a #7 hook, and took 1-2 hours to make while watching TV. I think I'll stick to this thread and hook, even though other patterns call for #20 or #30 thread... I'm not sure I could manage with thread that thin. Barbara describes how to starch the snowflakes, but mine seem stiff enough that I think I'll skip that step. I'm not sure if there are mistakes in the instructions, or if I just don't understand some of the steps, but it doesn't seem to matter. So far my guesses seem to produce beautiful results, even if they might not be exactly what the author intended. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year... assuming I can bear to part with the snowflakes!

I made most of the snowflakes in this book. The instructions are reasonably clear, but there are a few I had to adjust. the results are quite pretty if you keep your chains tight.

I tremendously enjoy working different pattern from this book! I've made 18 different snowflakes so far - with so many wonderful patterns it is very easy to get carried away. All the pattern are relatively simple (no more than 4 rows) and well-explained. The only thing that may need some improvement is photos - black and white and small. However, they work well enough as guides.

if you have a lot of time on your hands and can do beautiful work, then get it, but mine look like limp rags

These are excellent directions. They were not difficult to follow and the end result is lovely. There are pictures on the front cover so you can see the snowflake you are trying to make. You can starch these and sprinkle some glitter on them and they hold up well.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

I saw some crocheted snowflakes in a Cracker Barrel country store, and I knew I wanted to make some, rather than just buy them. I searched high and low at craft stores, but they just didn't have the right project guide I was looking for. Then I typed in "crochet snowflakes" in the search bar at Amazon. This book popped up and I knew it was the book that would help me make crochet snowflakes! The designs are easy to follow. I recommend this book for anyone who loves to crochet.

I found this book easy to read and the patterns were easy to do. I have been wanting to make snowflakes for a long time and this is the first time that I found a book that I could actually make a snowflake from.

If you like crocheting snowflakes, this book is a great choice! Lots of different sizes and looks to choose from. I'm having a great time with it!
