Crystal's Snowflake 2009

[busy-bee-lmt]

This snowflake was designed specifically for my partner, Crystal, for the Snowflake Swap. It measures about 2" across when made with size 10 thread and a size 7 steel crochet hook. I used metallic Knit-Cro-Sheen in the example.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
ch3p = chain 3 picot
ch4p = chain 4 picot

Instructions:

Ch 6, join with sl st in 1st ch to form ring.

Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st dc), 2 dc in ring, ch 3, sl st in top of last dc, *3 dc in ring, ch 3, sl st in top of last dc,* repeat 4 times, ending with sl st in 2nd ch of initial ch 2. [Total of 6 ch3p]

Round 2: Sl st in next 2 dc and into ch3p, *ch 4, sl st in same ch3p, ch 5, sl st in next ch3p,* repeat around ending with ch 2, dc in initial ch3p.

Round 3: *4 dc in next ch4p, ch 4, sl st in top of last dc, 3 dc in same ch4p, sl st in 3rd ch of next ch 5 loop, ch 4, sl st in same ch,* repeat around ending with sl st in top of dc join of previous round. ch 4, sl st in same space.

Fasten off, starch, and block.

Thanks ladies. I really like this one. It works up quickly and is quite a bit different in construction from most of my other snowflake patterns. Enjoy!
