- In this video I will teach you how to make this simple and easy snowflake.
You will need a crochet hook that fits your yarn or one size smaller if you crochet loosely.
I am using Bernat Softee Baby Yarn and an F (3.75MM) Hook.
Please check out the written pattern here-

Took me a long time, you go so fast for a beginner and it was also hard to see where you were inserting your hook. Thank you for doing this video
This is an old video. Learning how to teach is part of this experience for me. I didn’t go to school to be a teacher. Not all my tutorials are beginner friendly. If they are I state that in the title. Good job not giving up and completing your snowflake! Thank you for watching!
Also, dear Dotti, Jonna has to presume you have purchased the pattern and the video supports the pattern to help crocheters follow the pattern. It's always good to read the pattern before viewing the video, and then view the whole video before even picking up your yarn and hook so you have a good idea where stitches go and what they look like. Then crochet along.
You can slow the speed which I do often. The instructor sounds drunk but it sure helps.
I was just about to comment the same thing, too fast and not always clear where you're placing your hook.
There’s always possibility to make a video to go slower by changing it into setting. Love this tutorial 👍💕
I had to slow this down to .75x and pause frequently but my Snowflake came out so pretty! Thank you for the tutorial. Going to make a garland for teacher gifts. :)
That's great! I'm happy to hear you were able to make this old video work for you! These will make great gifts!
I bought my first crochet hook yesterday and made 3 of these today! The first one is wonky (my fault for being a newb), but the second and third came out perfectly! I'm so excited that I could actually make these. Thank you for the tutorial! You may be a little fast for a newbie like me, but that is what the pause button is for! Seems like some people need to learn that, lol.
Son re feo tus vídeos les doy un dos dedos
Thank you. I’ve been making snowflakes for Christmas gifts all day and this has been my favorite one. Also the easiest to follow!
I actually love the speed of this it’s great for people who can already crochet and if not we can speed up or slow it down to our own needs thanks for this beautiful snowflake.. I’m going to use it along with some others as an appliqué for my daughters crazy sweater day at school❤
Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know. Love the appliqué idea! ❄️❄️❄️❄️
You can go to gear ⚙️ in upper right corner and slow down any video🥰
I'm a beginner and was able to follow this video. Since I'm fairly slow I stopped the video after each step. I started when I was ready for the next part. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you!
+Keri Hartwell I'm very happy you liked my video. Thank you for watching and commenting
Thank you! I tried with a mini version of this and im thinking making a necklace or earrings for chritmas presents!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Im a complete beginner so it took me a few goes and some unravelling, but I got there in the end! About to make my second one 😊
This is a great tutorial: easy to follow and perfect results. I used Bernat Baby Coordinates sport weight with a 2.75mm hook and it came out very lovely. The yarn has a shiny thread wound through it, so it sparkles like snow. Perfect to include in my Christmas cards!
Beautiful!! Thank you for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas ❄️❤️
These snowflakes are soooo gracious! Thank you for this great tutorial.
This pattern is great! Thank you for making and sharing. I made 12 and used them to make a snowflake garland. It looks like an accessory in an Ikea catalogue! I used white yarn from Caron Simply that has a clear sparkly thread in it. The snowflakes look like they are glistening when the light is right.
Thank you so much for this. These are almost identical to the ones my great grandmother made that got lost due to a time of homnelessness. I know i can never replace the ones she made but hopefully i can pass the ones i make down like she did.
These are awesome! Super easy and fun to make. I’ve been making a ton of them, some as gift tags, I put a bunch on my daughters tiny Christmas tree and actually made a garland out of some in different colors. Thanks for sharing, your instructions were awesome and easy to follow.
Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to figure this out for two days. I’m so glad I found your video. I’m trying to make ornaments for my co-workers.
I love how you explain every step that you are doing and not just tell what the stitch is. thank you for going slowly and i can't wait to make these for my tree.
+Becca M I'm so happy you enjoyed this video, thank you for watching and commenting 🌸❄️❄️
Love this snowflake!!! I’ve made large and medium 3D paper snowflake…now crocheting different snowflakes…will place all in my front window to create a winter wonderland with lights…the bottom will have poly fill to look like snow!!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful pattern!!! Stay safe and be blessed❤
Thank you so much. My great grandma made a thousand of these while blind and I always wanted to learn.
+mamafranklin that's so amazing!
Thank you for watching and commenting
I am making a chain of these to hang on a mantel. I love how they came out. Thank you!
+Judy Robinson very lovely!!! Thank you for watching and commenting
Fantastic! Memorable. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I crocheted my first one for my daughter to use for a secret Santa gift. Will crochet additional for sure.
I just finished my snowflake! It felt difficult but I trusted that it was going well, and it turned out beautifully! I was a little loose on my thread so it’s a little big and floppy but it was my very first time crocheting anything!
Thank you so much for the video. Looking forward to more :) xo
I’m 13 years old and this was my homework and i had no problem following along
That’s so awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting.
This was extremely easy to follow, I’m a beginner and I was very happy with the results! Thank you!
I’m very happy you found this tutorial doable as a beginner! Great job. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Beautiful your instructions were very easy to follow. Thank You.
I LOVE this fast and easy snowflake! I will be making several for office gifts!
I love this pattern. I'm putting little kits together of crocheted Xmas tree decorations and this pattern is definately going to be one of them.
Excellent tutorial. Loved the result! Thank you . The pace was fine..stop and rewind are available features on all videos. 😉😃
Thank you for watching and commenting!
So pretty! I'm making my snowflakes with a worsted weight yarn and an H hook so they come out a little bigger. I'm going to add ribbon to them to make ornaments and gift them at my church for Christmas.
+Rebecca Jusino so nice!! They will be the perfect gift! Thank you for watching and Commenting 🌸 🌸
My great grandmother made a set of these and they were lost in a move. Thank you for this video I can't wait to make a set of my own ❄️
I love this pattern! Thank you so much! You can also stiffen with corn starch.
Beautiful, I'm going to make some to use as an applique on a crochet Christmas stocking.
So pretty! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Your direction were easy to follow. There were times, were you were going to fast, so I had to rewing to continue. I made in light green and came out real nice. Hello from Panama.
Jonna, I've made a couple dozen of these now for my two daughters, now with their own families and young children. They love them and Im sure the snowflakes will be beautiful on their Christmas trees next year. I have had great fun following your directions. Each person learns at their own pace but I find your video very easy to follow and understand. Thanks for sharing this lovely pattern.
+Marie Jarreau that's wonderful! Lovely heirloom gifts. I'm happy to hear my videos work well for you. Thank you for watching and commenting ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thank you so much. I'm just learning to crochet, so I paused as I was doing it along with you. I appreciated your instructions.
This is wonderful to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love the pattern super simple and really cute. But let's talk about your nails!!!!! Love them!!!!!
Q
Yes!!! For Sure!!!
This year we are having an old fashioned Christmas, making all our decorations for the tree.
+jankevin2 that sounds lovely!! I'm so happy you like this snowflake to add to your tree. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Love this snowflake. Simple and quick once I learned how. Glad I could pause and go back when needed
I have never even been able to crochet a straight potholder, but this was the year to try. Loved your snowflakes and had a go, but could not quite get it together. I went on to other stars and after finally cracking them came back to your website. I have jus completed two snowflakes. Not quite perfect, but I think I know what I am still doing wrong, so the next one I know will be perfect. Felling very pleased with myself. Thank you so much!
the video is super,the directions perfect for beginners as I am.I follow all your videos ,they are so cool to watch and crocheting .thank you girl!
+vekibutterfly h this is great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting 🌸🌸🌸
I enjoyed the video I am using my snowflakes to hang on my apple tree.
Because I live in Chile, and I have fruit trees
+Beate Gravel very beautiful!! Thank you for watching and commenting
Love your tutorial. Very easy to follow. Going to put mine on hats that I am making for Christmas gifts
Yes thank you for this easy to follow instruction video. I'm a beginner and i enjoy making this snowflake
Thank you for your video. I was actually able to make a beautiful snowflake because your instructions were very clear. For the people who think Jonna is going to fast for you... it's a video, you can stop it and rewind it over and over.
+A K I'm very happy you liked it! Thank you for watching and commenting
Yes but you don't get the time to even figure out what she's saying or doing. I love the star.
You can also speed it up. Lol. Jus click yhe 3 dots in corner and change playback speed. Very nice video! Thank you and God Bless!
@@jeckellhobbs5017 thanks i didnt know you could do that.
@@Sarah-fr4ui Yes, your very welcome.
I begin my crochet adventure this evening and I really hope for to make this.....
It’s been 11 months since this comment, do you still crochet?
a year has past

This was the perfect video I needed to create a snowflake to attach to a winter hat so the hat would coordinate with a scarf in the same yarn as the snowflake. Your instructions were excellent and your voice so pleasant; and I consider myself a beginner. Thank You!! I’ll be looking at your other projects as well. Happy, blessed New Year!
My first crochet snowflake! I made 3 with left over thread...instructions were easy to follow! Thx!
Great to hear!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I just made one and it's so cute! I'm going to use them as coasters. Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! Hugs, Vina
+bananashaveice lovely idea! Thank you for watching and commenting
❤️
bananashaveice Ha ha. Me too!
I like the idea of use a s coaster
I'm going to hang them on my ceiling in white and different blues : )
+alyssa cavallo oooh so pretty! Thank you for watching and commenting
I just finished a snowflake and you did a great job demonstrating. Thank you so much. I’m very happy and will be making lots more.
That’s great! Have fun making snowflakes!
This is beautiful and you are a really great teacher I’ll be making these . Thank you for showing us how to do these beautiful snowflakes ❄️
Well done! Clear and precise. Thank you so much. Hey folks, you can hit the pause button at any time or write down the instructions as the video plays.
+Nancy Susan Barwick I'm so happy you liked the video!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
very nice thank you sooo much for doing this tutorial
+Debbie Johnson thank you for watching and commenting 🌸 🌸
I'm so pleased with this pattern ... Doesn't matter novice or pro it's just AWESOMELY FABULOUSLY KNOCK DOWN GEORGOUS
I loved your snowflake, looking for all kinds of different ones to crochet. I think you did a great job... Not to fast and not to slow, and not drawn out either... I made mine with I love this cotton. the white sparkle... its so pretty. Thank you for sharing...
So happy to hear this!! Thank you for choosing my tutorial, watching and commenting.
I enjoyed watching and crocheting along with you. The yarn I used already had glitter on, so I guess I got lucky. I like the speed and the way you explain the steps. Could it possible for your next videos to get the camera closer as you crochet? Thanks for sharing your creations 🎅
+Paslayas that sounds very pretty!! Thank you for watching and commenting
My granddaughter asked me to make her cat a Christmas stocking, I'm going to put the snowflake on it
That’s wonderful !! Thank you for watching and commenting.
By far the most prettiest snowflake I have ever made! It's easy, fast and straight-forward, and the pattern is beautiful too. Pulchritudinous, I must say!
That’s wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience. Also I had to look up that last long word you used. Haha thank you for teaching me a new word.
I'm busy making does lovely stars for Christmas . Thank you for explaining so nice!
+Marlies Bernert that's wonderful! They will be lovely for Christmas. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌸 🌸
i will make them and gift them to all my grandkids
+dianna smith that's a lovely idea!
Thank you for watching and commenting 🌸🌸
This snowflake is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I love your tutorials, they are the best! I was wondering whether you could do more Christmas-related tutorials, like decorations, baby stuff (like a Santa Clause hat, or an elf hat and shoes) and maybe some handmade gift ideas. Thank you very much once again. Looking forward to your new videos :)
+Lucia Kozachuk those are all wonderful holiday related ideas and I will be using them. Thank you for taking the time yo comment and tell me and for watching! 🌸🌸🌸

So pretty! I’m just beginning to crochet and am loving all of your videos. Love that I can pause or rewind as often as I need to understand all the steps and stitches. Great tutorials. 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m so happy to hear this! Thank you for choosing to watch my channel ❤️
Be sure to check out Stella’s snowflake if you haven’t already.
Have a wonderful day and also thank you for taking the time to comment!
I really like this. Done 3 now, and I'm getting better and better! Thanks so much!
I love this tutorial!! It was a bit fast at times, but that's perfectly fine for me-- I just paused it until I completed the next step :)
To stiffen the snowflake, do you just soak it in the mixture of water and glue? Or just dip it?
I'll definitely be watching for your tutorials in the future. Thanks so much! Planning on gifting this to my grandparents.
+loveourearth07 I'm happy the video worked for you!
I dip the snowflake in and then squeeze it out, then pin it on a cardboard.
Thank you for watching and commenting
how long should it take to dry?
+Melissa Schaub I would let them dry over night! Thank you for watching!
can u put a written pattern on here so i can redo it at home with doing it via the video
+Caitlin Holmes I don't have a written pattern. I apologize. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌸 🌸

Your direction were so easy to follow, first snow flakes I have ever made. I am going to make them for CHRISTMAS gifts. Going to make green centers & red centers for a contrast. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO.
+Crochet Fun those will be beautiful! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my video. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I have been trying to think of a pretty decretive item to put on my nieces wedding gift. This is so beautiful and perfect. One made in white, blue and her color is royal purple. She can then use them on her tree for years. Thank you❤️
Wonderful idea!! What special heirlooms. Thank you for choosing my tutorial, watching and commenting.
When u stiffen the snowflake with glue, how much glue do u use?
+Catherine Whittaker I would use one tablespoon to a cup of water. If you are using Elmers glue.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Jonna Martinez b
You can also use something called "Aleene's Stiffen Quick." It comes in a spray bottle so you can't really mix any glitter in but I'm thinking that as soon as I spray one snowflake I'll sprinkle a tiny bit of very fine iridescent glitter.
You speak very clear, BUT where's the fire woman? 😂
Slow down some, so we can pause the video at least. 😂😂
+Marie Drebitko I try to fit lots of info in a shorter video. Sometimes it works sometimes not. 🔥 Thank you for watching and commenting!

You can slow RUclips videos way down if needed.
@@KatarinaS. How do you do that?
I actually enjoyed the pace. I just paused when I needed an extra few seconds.
I am a beginner and I found your tutorial really easy to follow. Thanks so much. I have made one lovely flake so far.
+Countess Ink this is wonderful! Thank you for watching and commenting
If you think she’s going to fast, Listen and write down what she’s saying to do. Then watch what she’s doing. I just appreciate that she did this tutorial for us. It’s a beautiful snowflake
this is hard to follow, you don’t explain exactly what you’re doing sometimes and you use the wrong terms sometimes so i ended up not being able to do this because i couldn’t really understand
Thanks for trying.
@@JonnaMartinezCrochet I had absolutely no problem following along with you and found that you explained everything thoroughly enough for my intermediate skill level, thank you! And I see in another comment where you already know that it's not a triple treble but just a regular treble, but watching you work it was obvious what you meant, so didn't trip me up and shouldn't really trip up anyone other than maybe an absolute beginner I don't think. I actually appreciate your quicker pace because so many videos are geared towards beginners (which is great, but can really drag on when you get past the beginner stage), so again, thank you!
Wonderful to hear this. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I disagree, I started crocheting a few days ago and I was able to complete this! Plus I learned how to do a double crochet and triple treble thanks to her
@Jenna Cowart, thank you so much!
This is actually a treble, I had learned it from another crocheter who called it a triple. After I had already made this tutorial I learned it is only a regular treble. But cannot edit the video once it is uploaded. Hopefully others read my reply’s to comments to learn the proper name. It is in fact the correct way to make the stitch though.
Thank you again, I hope you enjoy making snowflakes!
You go way way way too fast and miss a lot of details.
The beauty of youtube videos is that you can pause and/or go back to what you missed.
I found the pace fine, great video. I followed it once, then did the second one by memory.... And I'm not a very experience crocheter.
+Kerami Roberts good for you! Thank you for watching and commenting. ❄️❄️❄️
Jonna Martinez made several now and it's great cheers
+Kerami Roberts wonderful!❤️❄️❄️
I made fingerless gloves for 6 of my sisters for Christmas. I made them a deep red and used fluffy white yarn for the top edge. I also made a warm headband with a thicker matching color and I used your snowflake for the side or center of each headband so they match the fingerless gloves.
Thank you so much for this clear and easy tutorial. I'm going to make a garland! Your clear explanations of the stitches meant I didn't get confused with the US/UK differences in terms as I could just follow exactly what you were doing and describing. Thanks again!
Wonderful to hear! Your garland will be gorgeous! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Way too fast
In the settings, you will find the speed option. It lets you speed up or slow down. There's always rewind, too.
She may go fast but this pattern is probably not ideal for someone just starting to crochet so it’s going to be a little hard to follow.
Thank you for sharing. My daughter asked me if I could make her a snowflake so I looked on RUclips and came across your channel.I watched it first than started it again and working along with you. Had to pause a few times and rewind a few times but I love the way it turned out! Thank you again! I know my daughter will love it! I’ll be making more. 😁👍🏽
Thank you for your video!
I'd like to suggest something for others...I think it's a good idea for them that need to go slower, to watch the pattern first... maby jot down a note of the stitch on a notebook, then, rewind and follow. That way, you get the feel of the pattern before in your head and it may be easier as your following. Kinda like a preview. If you mess up...just start over, no big deal.
That's what I do when I need to start slow on something I've never done before...( and I forget how to do a single crochet stitch all the time for some reason..?? (Guess I get rusty after a break for a month or so..??) Just a suggestion from one crocheter to another.
Again, thank you for taking the time to teach us all a lovely ornament!
Your a great teacher and I learned my first snowflake ever!! Yay!! Very Best Regards, Debra from Tx. 😊
Wonderful advice Debra ❤️ Congratulations on your first snowflake! Thank you for choosing my tutorial, watching and commenting ☃️❄️❄️❄️
this cute snowflake will be stitched onto an ear warmer headband for my niece
+Katelyn Fitzsimmons that's a great idea! Thank you for watching and commenting
OMG, I am a beginner and I followed it step by step by stopping doing and stopping and doing. My Beautiful snowflake is finished. I did it! Thanks so much.
I’m really happy the tutorial worked well for you! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you! I really appreciate this tutorial. I'm making these as gifts for women in two Bible study groups I belong to. They are lovely. Thank you for giving such clear verbal instructions! I'm blind and have trouble seeing the stitches in the video. I listened through once to get a good mental picture of what you were doing. I didn't understand the last loop on the second round until I actually did it. What a great way to get to the starting point if the next round without needing to slip stitch.
I’m so happy to hear this tutorial worked so well for you Heidi. Thank you for watching and commenting. These will make wonderful gifts!!
Love this ! very easy to follow along ! Making Baby Safe Ornaments for my first grand baby , so she can enjoy the tree safely ! thank you !!!

Thank you for posting. I have a small tree, this one will go great with the other small snowflakes I have made in past yrs.
+Joyce Schoen lovely!! Thank you for watching and commenting
I'm a crochet beginner who could only make basic single/double/half-double crochet stitches and nothing more, and I could complete my first little crochet project following your video! Thanks a lot for this tutorial.
I’m really happy you got to make this! Thank you for watching and commenting.
It does look beautiful!Of course I am going to make it.It is so simple.

I am making a bunch of these to give to family and friends. thanks for showing us.
+Ruth Hingston that's a really nice idea! ❤️
Fabulous pattern, easy to follow...I love making these. I've made some larger ones using Aran weight cotton for Coasters and I'm now trying with DK weight cotton and a smaller hook to make tree decorations. I'm gonna add a chain loop to hang and starch them...thank you 💞
Wonderful! Thank you for watching and commenting. Adding a chain loop is great!
Love the video thank you for sharing. I am using this snowflake for Christmas hats!!

So beautiful!! I love making snowflakes with sparkles yarn. Thank you for watching and commenting ❄️💕
Wanted to tell you......I’ve been crocheting for over 40 years, and YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME a beautiful new way to slip stitch into DC, etc.....

Mine worked up beautifully using worsted weight SOFT SPARKLE WHITE! Just gorgeous! God bless and keep you and yours, you are a great teacher with a very calming voice! 🙋♀️💕✝️✡️🕊🙏🌹🕊🎄
Hi Deborah! Your snowflake sounds beautiful with the sparkles! I’m really happy to hear everything you liked about this tutorial. Thank you for watching and commenting ❄️❄️❤️❤️
I did these, stiffening them like you said, but added some white glitter. Very pretty especially with the tree lights on them.
That's what I was thinking of doing! 😁
It's now the end of January but I am preparing for next year😂
I absolutely love your snowflake. I've made one and will make many more, Thank you for sharing your talent
Thank you very much for this nice video! I just finished the first snowflake and will continue to make another 10 or 12. Then I will put a golden string on the snowflake and add it to a wine bottle as Xmas presents for a nice personal touch.
+Antje Cobbett I love this idea! Thank you for sharing that. 💕✨
I am very happy you liked this video. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🎄🎄
