Lacy Snowflake Motif

This motif can also be used as a snowflake ornament but it has been designed to be a motif which you could join with many more to create placemats, table runners, large doilies or even a tablecloth. If you made a table cloth with this motif, it would make a great take-along, long term project. It would be breathtaking made in white. To make this into a snowflake ornament, use size 20 thread and a size 11 steel hook.
