Free templates for perfect crocheted christmas snowflakes

Previously it caused many problems for me to design nice symmetrical shape for the crochet snowflakes. But now I found a solution, and I hope it will be useful for you!
I drew blocking templates with grid guides.

1. Just print, 
2. put the paper to a blocking foam, 
3. put a transparent cellophane on it,
4. and you can start the blocking! ;)

Free templates in three shapes: octogon, hexagon, and pentagon

Which is the best traditional basic granny square?

I have been looking for the best traditional basic granny pattern long time ago. I tried these, so I can compare:


A)
This is a very lacy block. It's quick, but It was uncomfortable turn crochet hook on the long lines.
I think this version is ideal for lightweight summer shawl from thin bamboo or cotton or silk yarn. However, it could be interesting winter shawl from fluffy mohair yarn.

B)
It's pretty and solid! I think this version is ideal for afghan crochet baby blanket from medium cotton or soft wool or acrylic yarn.

C)
It's very thankful pattern! 4.5" with five row, not bad ;) Super for afghans or anything else, when the quick results is important.

D)
Lovely! :) Thick crochet pattern for warm blanket from winter yarn.

E)
And finally, the fattest pattern. It's slightly stiff and slow work, but beautiful! :)
