Day Two: Continuing the Snowflakes

Welcome back to day two of your advent crochet along! Today, we will be continuing to work on our snowflakes and using a specific technique on four of them. So grab your day two color and four snowflakes, along with the crochet hook you used yesterday, and let's get started!

1. Introduction In this article, we will be focusing on the second day of the advent crochet along. We will explore the technique used to create snowflakes and provide step-by-step instructions to help you crochet your own beautiful snowflakes.

2. Supplies Needed Before we begin, let's ensure that we have all the necessary supplies. To complete the snowflakes, you will need your day two color yarn, four snowflakes, and the crochet hook you used on the previous day. Gather these supplies and make sure you have everything you need to proceed.

3. Day Two Technique Now, let's move on to the technique used on day two. We will be working on round four, which consists of a specific crochet stitch called a standing double crochet. This stitch will create the foundation for the pattern repeat we will be using.

3.1 Starting Round Four To begin round four, create a slip knot and insert your crochet hook. Locate a raised half treble front post stitch from the previous row, and perform a standing double crochet into it. This will serve as the starting point for round four.

3.2 Working in Round Two Round four involves working in round two of the snowflake pattern. We will start by chaining three and skipping two double crochets, working behind the chains made in round three. Then, we will do one double crochet between the two double crochets on either side of the chain nine space.

3.3 Repeating the Pattern The pattern repeat consists of chaining three, skipping two stitches, and working a double crochet into the next raised half treble front post stitch. This pattern is repeated all the way around until you reach the last double crochet. Follow this pattern for each snowflake in this round.

4. Joining and Moving on to Round Five Once you have completed round four, it's time to join and move on to round five. Join the round with a slip stitch into the standing double crochet from the beginning. Now, we will start round five by chaining two, which does not count as a stitch.

5. Working in Round Five In round five, we will repeat a specific pattern. Start by doing three treble crochets (UK terms) or double crochets (US terms) into the chain three space. Follow this with a double treble crochet, a chain two, and another double treble crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the snowflake.

6. Moving on to Round Six Now it's time to move on to round six. Chain three, which counts as the first treble crochet, and continue with three treble crochets. After this, we will work on the remaining stitches in this round.

7. Finishing Round Six To finish round six, we will repeat a pattern starting from the fifth chain of round three. This pattern includes treble crochets, chain twos, and treble crochets in specific stitches. Continue working this pattern until you reach the end of round six.

8. Checking Tension and Repeat for Additional Snowflakes Once you have completed rounds four to six, it's important to check the tension of your snowflakes. The final measurement should be around 12 centimeters from side to side. If the measurements are accurate, repeat the steps for three more snowflakes to have a total of four in the same color scheme.

9. Tagging and Sharing Progress on Instagram Don't forget to share your progress on Instagram! Tag @crochetsociety, @yourusername, and @rosinaplane to showcase your beautiful snowflakes. We would love to see your creativity and how well you are progressing in the advent crochet along.
