Quick and simple snowflakes and stars

I love decorating my home with snowflakes and stars at Christmas, they look beautifully crisp. I use them in garlands around the tree, over the dresser, along the staircase – absolutely anywhere I can hang them! And I use individual hanging ones as simple decorations. These 4 designs are really quick to make and do not use any complex stitches. You could have your home snowy and sparkly in no time. Made originally in white cotton dk, they can be made in any yarn and any colour provided you use a suitable hook. One ball of the recommended yarn will make between 10 to 15 stars and snowflakes, as hanging decorations or as bunting. Pattern has written instructions in English crochet terms and in US crochet terms, and each star and snowflake has a chart.
