Just use your hands to flatten it out and do some finger blocking.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Crochet Snowflake Right Off the Hook<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Crochet Snowflake After Finger Blocking<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If it’s not quite what you want, wet blocking is another option!
