December 27th is Make a Cutout Snowflake Day. While not exactly cutout snowflakes, I offer this book here because it is about making snowflakes. I hope that is close enough. ;-) 100 Snowflakes To Crochet: Make your own snowdrift - to give or to keep, by Caitlin Sainio has the instructions for, well 100 snowflakes. Admittedly I did not understand them, but I spent quite some time looking at the results. Beautiful!

Sewflakes: Papercut Applique Quilts, by Kathy K. Wylie is a little closer to the mark in that these beautiful designs start out as a cutout snowflake. :-) It all looks very complicated to me, but the final product is beautiful. My favorite was a variation (it seems) on a snowflake ... the fish design!
