Patons Free Crochet Snowflake Doily Pattern with Tutorial and Diagrams

Only one ball of Patons Grace in the colour called Snow will do up this 9.5" diameter crochet snowflake doily. It's a simple 4 round crochet snowflake pattern with the other snowflakes attaching to the existing snowflakes as you go—no sewing is involved.

Provided in this free pattern called Crochet Snowflake Doily pattern are two crochet diagrams to illustrate the stitchwork. I did this sample in about two hours with my home stitch group during stitch night.
