Free Crochet Snowflake Square Pattern + Video
Snowflake Square Free Crochet Pattern
When I wrote the pattern for the snowflake hexagon, I also made it into a square, and today I will show you how to crochet this beautiful festive Snowflake Square.
You can make it as big as you want by simply crocheting more rounds, I only made it big enough so the tips of the snowflake won’t go over the edge.
Scroll down for the written row-by-row pattern, video tutorial, and the swatches I made to show you how this snowflake square looks made in different color combinations.
