Knitting a snowflake:

At the beginning of knitting snowflakes, we collect a chain of 6 chain stitches. Don’t forget about replacing the first columns of the VP:

3VP are equal to 1СН;
1VP is equal to 1СБН.

1st row: 1VP, 11СН, SP;
2nd row: (2СН, 3ВП) – 6 repetitions, SP;
3rd row: (2 sc in the top of the dc of the second row, under the arch - 2 dc, 4 ch, 2 dc) - 6 repetitions, sp;

4th row:(2SP, in two DC we knit 2SC, under the arch – 1SC, P6, 1SC, 1DC, picot trefoil (P6), 1DC, 1SC, P6, 1SC, 2SC in the SC of the 3rd row, 1VP, skip two loops) – 6 repetitions , SP.

We remove all excess threads, fasten them, and cut them off.

We starch the openwork motif, align it and secure it with pins, and let it dry. The crocheted snowflake is ready.

When the products are ready, they will have to be starched, blocked on the surface, dried and ironed.

How to starch

There are several ways:

With the help of sugar. Dissolve 12-13 tbsp in one glass of hot water. spoons of sugar. Soak the snowflake in the solution and block it, or dry it on a flat surface.
