These intricate seamless, 3-dimensional knitted Snowflakes make wonderful gifts or ornaments any time (or for your Christmas tree) and are an intermediate to advanced knitter's joy. They use just 30 grams of 4-ply Luxury each and are a fun way to bust those pesky leftovers in your stash!
Utilise your skills using either double-pointed needles or magic loop (or a combination of both), a double-cast-on, cabled twists and Japanese-inspired twisted stitches in this project. Read from the pattern or work from the charts provided.
Requirements:
- oddments of BWM Luxury 4ply or preferred BWM 4ply yarn (only about 30g approx used for each snowflake)
- 3.25 mm circular needles (60cm length)
- OR a circular needle PLUS 7 x 3.25mm double pointed needles
- 6 stitch markers, yarn needle, scissors
- 2 small cable needles or OR 2 additional larger stitch markers
- waste yarn measuring at least 40cm
- handful of preferred stuffing
- nice ribbon for hanging, no thicker than 5mm and approx 20cm long
Note: This is a great stash busting pattern as you could use any BWM yarn with recommended needle size (i.e 8-Ply Classic or Luxury with 4mm circular needles) with a resulting larger finished piece. You could also use any other yarn you prefer, as long as you use recommended needle size for tHat/beanie yarn. Larger yarn and needles will result in a larger ornament, and vice versa for smaller yarn and needles.
Tension: In st st, 30 sts x 37 rows = 10cm/4 inches
