This little snowflake crochets up very quickly. As I’m snowed in at the moment, I used the smallest hook I could find which is a size G/4.00MM hook. The finished snowflake ended up being about 3.5 inches across. Of course, the beauty of these small crocheted snowflakes is that you can use whatever size hook and crochet thread you like—the many combinations of thread colors and hook size ensure that each snowflake you make will be a little different from the other, just like real snowflakes.
