The granny mae crochet motif makes a snowflake like design. When stitched using worsted weight yarn measures a whopping 8.5" across. If you crochet this pattern with crochet thread instead, the finished product would come out smaller and would look festive hanging on a Christmas tree or in a window.

Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
