Nymphalidae Snowflake (Free Pattern)
I originally release this pattern in November 2018. It has been long enough since I wrote the pattern that I think I have learned somethings and I have also changed my formatting a bit. I have updated the pattern this year (2023). The snowflakes are the same but hopefully the pattern is a little bit…

The motifs are textured with back post stitches, Popcorn stitches, and Puff stitches. The circles are joined with a lacey join and finished with a basic border. I made my full blanket 46 x 84in,…
