Magic Moment Snowflake


This model is made with size 40 Lavender Orchid HDT from the Yarnplayer. It measures up to 10.5cm (4.25in) across. If made with size 20, it may be large enough to be considered as a small doily.

    1. Hi IvyRose,
      SS means 'switch shuttle'.
      In a two-shuttles patterns, there are parts where you need change your working shuttle, and in my patterns this is indicated with 'SS'
