Introduction

On this page several snowflake-grounds with 4 pairs are collected.

Usually, the little snowflake is drawn as picture on the left, on a 60 degree grid. The little snowflake can also be drawn on a 45 degree grid - especially the ones that are “crossed”.
Most of the variants shown on this page benefit of extra pins on the sides. As in the picture on the right. In the prickings below, the pins are not drawn.

Little Snowflake

Little snowflake, crossed

Snowflake in a diamond

Snowflake in a diamond, crossed

Snowflakes diagonal

Please note: the diagonal rows can be placed with the connecting pairs horizontally or diagonally. See the examples.

Other arrangements

Please note the resemblance of these grounds with paris grounds and with the stacked spiders.

Binche Snowflake

The six-pair snowflake is moved to its own page.

Half little snowflake

If the stitches indicated in white in the picture on the right are omitted, we get a half little snowflake. This can be used in several configurations.
The examples are moved to a page with other 3 paired joins.

Windmill snowflakes

The name of these snowflakes is based on origami. The examples are moved to their own page.

Making of

Some of the grounds can be made either as a crossed snowflake or as a rose ground. See the example below: the result is the same.
