Medium Feather Snowflake

by saraphir
Follow me

I promised in my last post with the Small Feather Snowflake that I would be posting more snowflake patterns during October, so I thought I’d better get on with it! Here’s the next one: Medium Feather Snowflake. As you can see the pattern is made using the same principle as the Small Feather Snowflake – and you probably won’t be surprised to hear there’s a large one to come as well! I made the patterns for these snowflakes a couple of years ago and I make them every year to sell at local Christmas markets.

I make my snowflakes in 3-ply linen yarn – it’s fine and fiddly work, but they become very elegant and crisp and they have been going down a storm! All my snowflakes work well as a mix and match and I sell more of the snowflake strings I make than of single snowflakes.

So on with the pattern. It is given below in both UK and US terms – you can find translation and abbreviation guides on the page Crochet Terms. I use a 2 mm hook for the 3-ply linen yarn, but of course any yarn can be used. When made with 3-ply yarn the snowflake measures 12 cm from tip to tip. You’ll need to block the snowflakes after they’re made and I stiffen mine after blocking using a mixture of PVA glue and water.

Buy the Snowflake Pattern Collection

You can now buy a PDF file with the pattern for this Medium Feather 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.

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

To stay posted you can follow my blog (button on the sidebar or below) or follow me on Instagram and Facebook. Hope to see you around and to see your pictures!

Maintaining this blog and posting free patterns comes with a cost for me, both in terms of time and cost of materials and for the website. I have decided to keep the blog ad-free and instead hope people will be willing to make a small donation towards the cost if they have enjoyed the patterns. You can do so here:





Thank you!

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…
