Pattern Description:
My mother loves to decorate her Christmas tree with my handcrafted snowflakes and tiny crocheted angels. I couldn't find exactly the design I was looking for anywhere so I designed a new pattern combining the best aspects of several others I have made over the years.
This pattern is written in tutorial style, with lots of photos to completely illustrate the trickier steps, and includes an optional halo embellishment and an alternate version which uses a wooden 'doll' clothespin. While the example and instructions use size 5 crochet thread, size 3 thread or sport weight yarn works equally well- just change the size of your plastic ring to 1 inch instead of 3/4 inch!
Thank you for your interest, I hope you enjoy this pattern. Love and prayers, Cara Louise

I have been crocheting since about 1974 at age 8 when my mother taught me with regular yarn and larger crochet hooks. A year or so later, she found a bag that had been her mother's which contained some gorgeous doilies her mother had made, along with some skinny crochet thread and some impossibly small steel crochet hooks.
I fell in love on the spot, created my very first doily without any pattern by copying one of hers, using her hooks and her thread. I have been designing and crafting small articles such as doilies, coasters, snowflakes and angels ever since! (Although I do confess to using patterns too!) Every time I make something I feel a kinship with the grandmother I was never able to meet, and so her spirit is alive in me- all these years later, and still use her hooks, which are now over 60 years old!
