Here Comes Christmas...... Fluoro Flakes

crochet snowflakes, modern crochet, cool crochet snowflake pattern,

Did anyone just mention Christmas?..... Yes it's nearly here..... and, believe it or not,  I'm pretty organised this year, for a change.... At least i think I am.
Just one little thing though - my tree's looking a bit bare... still. Every year i try to make new ornaments for it, but this year I've been too busy getting organised.
 I needed to give it a quick boost.
 Here's what I came up with....

Funky crochet Christmas decorations, make your own 'Conran Shop' style tree decorations

... a slightly different twist on the crochet snowflake that, let's face it, is everywhere these days. 
This one is has a more modern, slightly 'Scandi meets Conran Shop" inspired twist and instead of traditional white is, yes, you guessed it.....fluoro. 
It still has that handmade quality and sits nice and quirkily on a real tree but also works with something more contemporary.  
Nice and simple, and those colours are fab. Crochets up in just two rounds. You can make a good few of them in one evening, easy peasy - and it's still not too late. As a special Christmas treat I've included a free pattern.
 HERE's how to make them.
Happy decorating.
