The first of two ornaments with the name Snowflake, this ornament was published anther the Needle Adventures name in November 1994.    The model is white using "white Caron and metallic sparkly thread."  The instructions have a black line drawing of a snowflake near the materials list.

The 1996 Snowflake ornament was published by Loretta Spears Designs and the model uses bluish-white threads.  Here is the link to the article on that design.
