How to Crochet a Snowflake #2

I’m still adicted to crocheting snowflakes. I bet you feel the same way too. Today I’m sharing another video tutorial on how to crochet a snowflake. This isn’t my own pattern. It’s a diagram that I saw on the web and no written pattern is available. I made this tutorial for those who loves to crochet simple appliques for the holidays. This is so easy to make and you can still make this for Christmas. It’s never to late. Watch the video below to learn how to crochet a snowflake.
