Crochet Snowflake Ornament Free Pattern: A Beautiful Double-Layer Snowflake for Your Tree, a Gift or a Hair Clip

This double-layer snowflake is two little snowflakes worked the same way, one with a 2.0 mm hook and one with a 3.0 mm hook, then glued together so the bigger one peeks out from behind. Hang it on your tree with a little bell, tie it onto a gift, or glue an alligator clip on the back for a sweet winter hair clip.

• A 2.0 mm crochet hook (for the smaller snowflake in front)

The pattern, as said in the video

Hey everyone,

Today we’re going to crochet this double-layer snowflake

You can make it into a little ornament

Or glue an alligator clip on the back

To turn it into a hair clip

And this one

For the video, we’re using 4-ply yarn

And we’ll need

two crochet hooks – a 2.0 mm

The smaller one in front was made with the 2.0 mm

And the bigger one in back was made with

the larger hook

a 3.0 mm hook

Now let me show you how it’s done

This piece here was made with the 3.0 mm

Both pieces are worked the same way

Just using different hook sizes

Now we’ll crochet the smaller one in front

First, take out your yarn

Make a magic ring

We need to chain up inside the ring

Chain 3

Counts as 1 double crochet

Then chain 2 for spacing

So that’s a total of 5 chains here

These 5 chains represent: first 3

count as 1 double crochet

and the other 2 chains are for spacing

Next, we need to work 1 double crochet into the ring

Chain 2 for spacing

1 double crochet

Chain 2, 1 double crochet – that’s one set

Including the initial chain 5 we just made

We need to make 6 sets of this pattern total

Here I’ve done 1, 2, 3 sets

3 more sets to go

Let’s finish them all

6 sets total

Alright, after finishing 6 sets

Chain 2

After the last chain 2, pull the ring tight

After pulling tight, we need to

slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the starting chain

working through the back loop only

And that completes the first round

Now for the second round

We need to work into the chain-2 spaces from the previous round

Slip stitch the hook over

into that chain-2 space from the previous round

Then in that space, chain up

Chain 3

Counts as 1 double crochet

Now we need to

work into the chain-2 spaces of the previous round

4 double crochets

This one here counts as the first

Then we need 3 more

After the 4 double crochets, chain 2

for spacing to the next set

Also into the chain-2 space of the previous round

work 4 double crochets

The pattern for this round is

into each chain-2 space from the previous round

work 4 double crochets

chain 2

That’s one set

And we need 6 sets total

Let’s finish the remaining sets

As we go, weave in the yarn tail

Ok

After finishing the last chain 2 of the second round

We

slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the starting chain

After slip stitching, we need to slip stitch over to

the chain-2 space of the previous round

to start the third round

Slip stitch the hook

into the chain-2

space

Ok

After slip stitching into the chain-2 space

Chain 3

Then work 1 slip stitch into the same chain-2 space

Then chain 5

Slip stitch into the same space again

Then chain 7

Slip stitch into the same space

Then chain 5 more

chains

Slip stitch into the same space one more time

Then

chain 3 more

so both sides are symmetrical

And slip stitch into the same space one last time

And that completes one

corner of the snowflake

Then slip stitch the hook over to

the next chain-2 space

and continue with the same pattern

The larger snowflake piece is made the same way

After we slip stitch into the space

just like this first corner here

Start with chain 3, slip stitch

then chain 5, slip stitch

then chain 7, slip stitch

then do the other side

chain 5, slip stitch

chain 3, slip stitch

and then

over the 4 double crochets in the middle, just work

slip stitches all the way across

slip stitch over

We have 5 more sets to go – finish them the same way

After finishing, slip stitch into the first stitch

and cut the yarn

After finishing, it’ll look like this

The one made with

the 3.0 mm hook will come out larger

and the 2.0 mm one will be smaller

Just overlap them and glue them together

Let’s finish this piece first

Alright

Then we’ll

stack them and glue them together

Put glue around the edges between them like this

Then glue an alligator clip on the back to make a hair clip

Or attach a little bell

and thread it through to make an ornament

And our snowflake

is done
