If you’re crocheting along and haven’t done so already, you’ll want to whip up an easy crochet gift tag to attach your applique to.

About the Pattern

This crochet snowflake applique is made up of six branches worked into a magic circle.

The second point of each branch is finished by working into the last slip stitch of the first point and the chain that the slip stitch is worked into, before continuing back down the chain and crocheting back into the magic circle.
