As a crocheter, I felt the need to hang a granny square on my Christmas tree for some reason!.. 🙂
It All Begins with Yarn…
For this crochet snowflake hat & cowl pattern I used a 9 mm hook and Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Scarlet and White, which is a worsted weight yarn.
…And Inspiration…
This crochet snowflake granny square was actually a happy accident, because I was trying to create a crochet star granny square for Christmas, not a snowflake! However this snowflake has now become the star of the show!..

Easy Crochet Snowflake Ornament:
Pattern Overview – 2 Easy Steps
- Make 2 granny squares.
- Lace them together with a ribbon.
1. Make 2 Granny Squares.
To make the first granny square follow the instructions below and then repeat to make the second one.
Easy Crochet Snowflake Granny Square
With White, begin with a magic ring.
Rnd1 (White) Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in ring, *ch 1, 3 dc in ring; rep from * 2 times, ch 1, join with sl st to top of ch-3. (4 clusters of 3-dc with ch-1 in between)
Rnd2 (White) *Ch 6, (sl st, ch 6, sl st) in next space; rep from * 3 times. (8 ch-6 loops)
Rnd3 (Red) Fold down ch-6 loop from the same space downwards towards you. Sl st in ch-1 space (from 2 rnds ago) in between both ends of ch-6. Ch 3 (counts as dc), (2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in same space. *Skip the next ch-6 loop. Fold down the ch-6 loop from next space downwards towards you. (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in ch-1 space (from 2 rnds ago) in between both ends of ch-6. Rep from * 2 times, join with a sl st to top of ch-3. (8 clusters of 3-dc with 4 ch-1 corner spaces)
Rnd4 (Red) Sl st in same space while crocheting over the ch-6 loop from below. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same space while crocheting over the ch-6 loop. Make (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in corner spaces while crocheting over the ch-6 loop from below and 3 dc in other spaces while crocheting over the ch-6 loop from below. Fasten off. (12 3-dc clusters and 4 ch-1 corner spaces)
2. Lace Them Together With Ribbon.
With the right sides facing out, put your two squares together and lace between the posts in the last round with a festive ribbon of your choice. I used a ribbon that’s approx 0.3″ / 9 mm wide and 25″ / 63 cm long. Tie the ends together to make a loop for hanging.
Now hang this crochet snowflake ornament in front of some Christmas lights and voila!
