How do I stitch those tiny snowflakes?

I’ve received a few letters recently where you, my dear cross-stitchers asked how I stitch those small 3x3 snowflakes. So, I’ve prepared a small “How to” lesson.

To begin with, let’s choose a 3x3 square, to “place” our future snowflake. Then, let’s “fill” the corners of the square with 4 cross-stitches.

Red Snowflakes

I have received several letters where you, my dear cross-stitchers, asked me to create some snowflake patterns using cross-stitches only. So, I prepared this post, totally dedicated to snowflake patterns, without back, broken or speciality stitches.

Each snowflake is no more than 30 stitches large and you are welcome to choose the pattern you like to create Christmas atmosphere in your home.
