Ruby Snowflake ❄️

A ruby lace snowflake pendant — a striking holiday accent that looks especially beautiful on a tree, in a window, or on gift wrapping. The pattern reads well, the rays are expressive, and there are decorative picots along the edge. The work is neat, but the piece would benefit from firmer shaping: some branches wander slightly and stitch tension varies in places. The color is well chosen — festive, with a nice sheen to the yarn.

Метод вязания и техники

Crochet: lace round motif “snowflake” worked in the round with chains, double crochets (UK: treble), and picots, followed by firm blocking/starching to fix the shape.

Материалы

• Yarn: mercerized cotton or viscose/polyester with shine, red color, ~5–10 g
• Hook 1.0–1.5 mm (to suit the yarn thickness)
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Shaping/fixing agent: starch/spray starch or PVA glue (diluted 1:1)
• Pins and blocking surface (styrofoam/mat)

Инструкции по уходу

Dry cleaning is preferable: gently remove dust with a soft brush or lint roller. If soiled — hand wash in cool water (up to 30°C) with a mild detergent without bleach, do not rub. Press out through a towel without wringing. Lay flat on a blocking surface, spread the rays and pin, dry in the pinned shape. If stiffness is lost, re-starch/soak with starch and let dry on the blocker. Store flat to avoid deforming the picots.
