I'm Back With A Snowflake Pattern



Materials:

One plastic bottle ring or bone ring
F hook (3.75mm)
Any worsted 4 ply yarn your color choice


Single crochet around the ring and here is a good tutorial:


I always count the slip stitch and chain 1 as a single crochet.

You need a total of 18 single crochet on the ring.  

Now you are ready to make your points.

I am going to try and explain how to make a cross treble stitch, if it doesn't make sense, please, please contact me.....

Slip stitch and join to the first single crochet made on the ring and chain 3, yarn over twice on hook and going behind  and to the right of the chain  3 with your hook bring your hook to the front of the chain and go through the front of the single crochet to the right of the chain 3 and pull the yarn through and complete your triple crochet. 

*Chain 2, skip 1 of the single crochet from the previous round and complete a triple crochet in the next single crochet.  Yarn over twice on hook and going behind  and to the right of the triple crochet with your hook bring your hook to the front of the single crochet to the right of the triple crochet just made, and go through the single crochet to the right of the triple crochet, pull yarn through and complete your triple crochet.*  This represent a cross treble stitch.  (Complete this step  in between *, 7 more times) for a total of 9 cross treble stitches.  

To join the last cross treble stitch to the first, you will need to chain 2.  The very first crossed treble you made, you will need to pull the chain three over  the front of the treble made to the right of it and slip stitch in between those two stitches, it should give the look of a cross treble stitch. 

*Slip stitch to the chain 2 space, chain 3 and slip stitch into first chain made, chain 3 and slip stitch into the same chain as the first chain 3 slip stitch made, chain three and slip stitch into the same chain as your first slip stitch made.* (Repeat this 8 more times between *) 

Let me know how it works out,  

Debra
