Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring using white yarn.

   To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then insert your hook through the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).

2. Round 1:

   Into the magic ring, work 11 double crochets (dc). You should have a total of 12 stitches in the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3.

3. Round 2:

   Chain 3, and work 1 dc in the same stitch. Then, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 24 stitches.

4. Round 3:

   Chain 1, and work 1 single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Then, *chain 5, skip 1 stitch, and sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. You should have 12 chain-5 loops.

5. Round 4:

   Slip stitch into the first chain-5 loop. Chain 1, and work (sc, half double crochet (hdc), 3 dc, hdc, sc) in each chain-5 loop around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off the white yarn.

6. Attach icy blue yarn:

   Join the icy blue yarn to any sc between the petals created in Round 4.

7. Round 5:

   Chain 1, sc in the same stitch, then *chain 7, sc in the next sc between petals; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. You should have 12 chain-7 loops.

8. Round 6:

   Slip stitch into the first chain-7 loop. Chain 1, and work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc) in each chain-7 loop around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off the icy blue yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

9. Finishing Touch:

   To finish your bauble, attach a loop of yarn to the top of the bauble for hanging. You can use a length of yarn about 6 inches long, fold it in half, and secure it with a knot.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Nordic Snowflake Bauble. Hang it on your tree or gift it to a loved one to spread the holiday cheer!
