Free Crochet Granny Snowflake Hexagon Pattern
Granny Snowflake Hexagon – Pattern Info
This Granny Snowflake Hexagon is easy to make and looks gorgeous when turned into blankets, afghans, shawls, hats, or cardigans today I will show you how to crochet it.
If you are looking for a last-minute project that you can make and turn into a gift, check out my Christmas Snowflakes Afghan that I made with this granny snowflake hexagon (pattern coming soon!).
For this tutorial, I only crocheted one extra round in red using Aran yarn (light worsted #4 yarn), but you can adjust its size by making more or less red rounds around the snowflake or by using thicker or thinner yarn.
Scroll down below for the written row-by-row pattern and the video tutorial I made for those who learn better from seeing how it’s done.

Happy Crocheting!
I’m using this pattern to make my mom a blanket for Christmas! So easy to follow, even for me who’s a complete beginner to crochet (literally only made a handful of granny squares). Thanks for sharing this!
Happy to hear that. You’re welcome 🙂
Thanks so much for the instructions they are so easy to follow. I made one with blue and white. Much easier to understand.
You’re welcome 🙂
