Stitchfinder: Crochet Snowflake: White Dew

Yarn: For the Crochet Snowflake: White Dew we recommend Bonbons in Beach or Nature (our 100% cotton variety packs) for the snowflakes, since each snowflake motif does not use up a lot of yarn.
Hook: Start with an E-4 (3.50 mm) or F-5 (3.75 mm) hook. Switch to a larger or smaller hook if you prefer your snowflake to be looser or denser.
With all of our StitchFinder motifs, you may use any yarn you choose and its recommended hook/needle size as a starting point. They are meant to be generic designs that can be incorporated into your creations however you choose.

White dew is a name for dew that has been frozen to a glaze by dropping temperatures. After freezing, it might attract a few lacy flakes like this one.
