Crochet snowflakes – looking for patterns!
Girls, I had a sudden thought to crochet a few small snowflakes as ornaments for the Christmas tree. To help them hold their shape, I plan to starch them. I tried crocheting a long time ago for a short while 🙃 So, a big request – please share some simple and easy-to-follow patterns. The ones I found are either paid or free but have graphics that are completely unreadable to my eyes (( If you can recommend a proven way to stiffen the snowflakes – I only know about starch and PVA glue – I would be especially grateful!

Девочки, появилась внезапная мысля связать на елку несколько небольших снежинок в качестве подвесок. Чтобы они держали форму, планирую их накрахмалить. Вязать крючком я когда-то пыталась давно и недолго 🙃 Поэтому большая просьба – киньте несколько простых и понятных схемок. Те, что нашла я, либо платные, либо в свободном доступе, но с абсолютно нечитаемой для моих глаз графикой ((
Если посоветуете проверенный способ закрепить форму снежинок – я знаю только про крахмал и ПВА – буду особенно признательна!
I haven't crocheted snowflakes for a very long time; my eldest daughter has taken over that task. Here is her favorite snowflake; it's easy to crochet and looks very delicate and unusual.
You can't make a snowflake like this without starching. As an adhesive, we use regular gelatin, which needs to be diluted in a slightly smaller volume of liquid than recommended by the instructions (for example, if you need 200 ml, take 150).
And here are the patterns that were used to crochet snowflakes back in my school days. I hope at least one of them comes in handy)
