Starburst MiniMe Snowflake

by saraphir
Follow me

I made this little ditty snowflake by mistake. I had brought my yarn to work as I was going to crochet with someone afterwards to help her learn how to read patterns and when I was intending to make a Mini Starburst Snowflake of the top of my head in the lunch break, I accidentally left out one round and the Starburst MiniMe Snowflake was born.

It only consists of the foundation ring and 2 rounds, so it is very fast and easy to make. It still needs blocking to stretch it and make it completely flat after making, but you can get away without stiffening this one. I make all my snowflakes in 3-ply linen yarn with a 2 mm hook, but any yarn can be used. I would, however, recommend that you use a naturally stiffer yarn such as linen, cotton or bamboo.

I give the pattern below in both UK and US terms – you can find a guide to the abbreviations on my page Crochet Terms. You can now buy a PDF file with the pattern for this Starburst Minime Snowflake and my 11 other snowflake patterns in my Etsy shop or my Ravelry Store for a small sum. The file contains photo tutorials for some of the patterns and details of all special stitches needed. The snowflakes are all different sizes and some more complex than others.

Please remember that this is my design and my copyright – feel free to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not claim, translate, or publish it as yours. I’d appreciate it if you credit me as the designer if you post pictures or sell what you make online – thanks!

Both the Mini and the Mini Me are good sizes for Christmas tree decorations and they also look great on a garland hanging vertically in the window – it’s my favourite new Christmas decoration this year. Instructions on how to make the garland and the stars in the picture will be the next post later this week, so stay tuned!

It takes me a long time to design these patterns and to write them out. I have decided to keep my site ad-free, so if you like my patterns I’d be very happy if you would consider making a small donation towards the cost:





Have fun making! I would love to see your versions, so feel free to share to my Facebook Page or to tag me on Instagram – @saraphirdesigns.

Time to share a few more photos of the squares I made for a cushion for a friend… I do love this combination and might have to play with colours again soon. Pattern is on my blog. ‘Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight…?’ 🎵🎶🎵 Whatever their ultimate purpose, delightful they are! After the rain…. My website is now all tidied up and up to date and I wrote a blog post about my ‘Friends Around The World Blanket’ as well. You can find links to the patterns on my blog and guide to how I evened out the size differences. You can find it on Saraphir dot com… meta are still blocking me and I can’t find my way around their systems. 😕 You can also check out all the cals on @calcrochetalong I meant to do my work today…. But the cherry blossom is out! Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely day wherever you are. I’ve spent the morning starting much needed tidying up of my website. This means going through all the posts and making sure all the links are up to date, my name is right and the format is the same. Happy Earth Day. ♥️ I loved these tapestries by @cindysherman at @arosartmuseum in Aarhus. Such incredible detail in the weaving and the thread is unbelievably thin… amazing skill by the weavers. A few more photos of my latest cushion cover…
