Although there have been many crafted snowflakes that have been titled with the word dainty included in their title, this little beauty truly represents a very dainty snowflake!
Part of the reason for this is that the pattern is written using Size 20 tatting thread. However, if you don’t have any Size 20 on hand, you could even go as big as Size 10, and the result would still be stunning, although probably much larger than the 3.4 inches from point to point that you would end up with if you used Size 20.
This pattern also includes images that have been colorized, to show you exactly when you need to reverse your work, making that part of the pattern incredibly simple.
Instructions are also included for adding Swarovski crystals, if you wish, and depending on the thread size you are using, you will need bicone Swarovskis that are either 4, 5, or 6 mm. It’s not a requirement and the finished snowflake, even without the Swarovskis, will be stunning! I hope you will give this one a try, as this project does work up very quickly, with just two rounds total!!
