You can use any weight of yarn or crochet thread to make this snowflake. I’ve tested the pattern in several different weights: size 3 crochet thread, sport weight yarn, and worsted weight yarn.

The lower photos show this applique as the focal point in a snowflake potholder design, which is also available as a free pattern at KnittingCrochetCrafts.com. Please help yourself to either pattern, or both, if you like them.

Thanks so much for your interest in this pattern. Enjoy!
