Steeped in Orenburg Tradition: A Snowflake Scarf to Knit

Orenburg's lace knitters have historically embraced the Snowflake (Snezhinka) design as one of their most treasured motifs. It symbolizes their love and respect for nature and the beauty and splendor of Orenburg winters in particular. The Snowflake motif may be found in almost every piece of lace produced in this region, typically in the inner border of a five-diamond or medallion shawl.

In this variation of the Snowflake motif, Galina chose to use diagonals as the featured basic element. Small diamonds, also made from the diagonal basic element, surround each snowflake. We hope you find this motif satisfying and enjoyable to knit.

Please note that this updated version of the Snowflake Scarf pattern includes the corrected charts.
