Crochet Pattern: Snowflake Ornament

This Christmas I wanted to do something crafty to give as gifts. I searched and searched for a nice ornament pattern I could easily follow and finally found something I had pinned on Pinterest last year, but never attempted. Sorry this post is late for anyone wanting to try this pattern, I had to keep it secret until I gave these as gifts! I'm now toying with the idea of crocheting Christmas stockings for us to have next year. With our new addition we'll be a family of three next Christmas so I thought it would be great for each of us to have a stocking. We shall see!

Back to the crochet snowflake. I thought the pattern I found was pretty easy to read, but like always I made a few tweaks and then wanted to record my version. Once I got the hang of this pattern I could whip one of these out in about 15 minutes. The perfect project to work on while watching TV!
