➡️ If you want a bigger or smaller blanket, simply increase or decrease the motif count.

❄️ How the Snowflake Motif Is Worked

These motifs are built from the center outward, forming a star or snowflake. We alternate colors to emphasize the shape: white in the center, gray for the outer rounds (or whichever palette you choose).

Each motif is joined on its final round, which saves time later and creates a seamless look.

✅ Skill Techniques Used

• Magic ring

• Chains

• Double crochet

• Cluster stitches

• Slip stitch joining

If any of these are new for you — don’t worry! I explain everything clearly in the video tutorial step by step.

🪡 Assembly & Joining Tips

As you crochet each motif, join it to the blanket on the final round.
This technique avoids bulky seams and creates a professional finish.

Here are some practical tips:

✦ Keep your tension even so all motifs match in size
✦ Lay motifs flat and plan your arrangement before joining
✦ Weave ends after every few motifs to avoid last-minute stress
✦ Block the finished blanket for perfect drape and alignment

If you’re new to joining motifs, the tutorial includes close-up instructions and several tips to make the join-as-you-go method simple and relaxing.

🎨 Pattern Chart Included

Many crocheters love working with a visual guide — and this blanket features a beautiful and clear snowflake motif chart for reference.

📌 In the videotutorial and downloadable resources, you will find:

• Center snowflake visual chart

• Outer rounds with join placement

• Modular arrangement guide for different sizes

The chart helps you understand the motif structure at a glance and makes it easy to keep track of where you are.

💡 Customization Ideas

You are the designer! Here are some fun variations to make your blanket extra special:

✨ Color pop — White snowflakes with deep blue or red background
✨ Gradient style — Change the background shade every row of motifs
✨ Baby theme — Soft yellow or mint background for a nursery blanket
✨ Festive winter look — Add embroidery around the snowflakes

And if you want a faster project, use chunky yarn and a 6–7 mm hook ➜ fewer motifs, more cozy volume!

🔁 Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

• Motif curling → Try blocking right after finishing, or loosen tension

• Uneven motif sizing → Measure frequently and maintain consistent stitch height

• Gaps between joins → Ensure correct corner-to-corner attachment

• Running out of yarn → Buy an extra skein in each color (especially with dye lots)

Relax, take breaks, and enjoy the rhythm — this is a soothing and satisfying project!

🧼 How to Care for Your Blanket

To keep your blanket in perfect shape for years:

• Hand wash or use a delicate cycle

• Cold water recommended

• Dry flat to maintain motif shape

• Avoid ironing directly — use steam from a slight distance

A little care goes a long way!
