The Irish Crochet Snowflakes are part of a long line of “annual snowflakes from Michelle” that everyone on my Christmas list looks forward to every December.

As anyone who is familiar with my patterns knows, I like to play with designs, and just see what happens. Thus, these four variations, from the beaded “Irish Rose” snowflake which makes a beautiful gift on its own to the simple, unembellished “Irish Crystal,” worked in plain but elegant white crochet cotton that I included in my 2006 Christmas cards.

The Irish Crochet Snowflakes pattern set is featured as an electronic download, but is also available in a printed edition exclusively from http://www.treasuredheirloomscrochet.com/e-snowflakes06.html
