• Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, then pull the working yarn through the loop to form a magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • To close the round, slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 4 (this counts as your first dc and a chain 1).
   • In the next dc, work a dc, then chain 1. Repeat this pattern around the circle.
   • To finish the round, slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 4. You will have 12 dc and 12 chain-1 spaces.
4. Round 3:
   • Slip stitch into the first chain-1 space.
   • Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in the same space.
   • Chain 5, then sc in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern around the circle.
   • Finish the round by slip stitching into the first single crochet. You will have 12 chain-5 loops.
5. Round 4:
   • Slip stitch into the first chain-5 loop.
   • Chain 1, then sc in the same loop.
   • Chain 3, then sc in the same loop. This creates a point on your snowflake.
   • In the next chain-5 loop, sc, chain 3, and sc again. Repeat this around the circle.
   • Finish the round by slip stitching into the first single crochet.
6. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
   • Repeat the above steps to make as many snowflakes as desired.
7. Assemble the Garland:
   • To join the snowflakes, chain 10 between each snowflake to form a beautiful garland.
