    Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Round 1: Creating the Center Ring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Start:<\/strong> Make a Magic Ring<\/strong> (or ch 6 and sl st into the first ch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. First Points:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc). Work (dc, ch 3)<\/strong> 5 times into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Finish:<\/strong> Work dc<\/strong> into the ring. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. (You should have 6 dc and 6 ch-3 spaces).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Round 2: Building the Base of the Points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We work into the ch-3 spaces to create the anchors for the six main arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-3 space. ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as st).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Anchor:<\/strong> Work (sc, ch 5, sc)<\/strong> into the same ch-3 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Repeat:<\/strong> Work (sc, ch 5, sc)<\/strong> into the next ch-3 space 5 more times<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Finish:<\/strong> Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc. (6 ch-5 loops).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Round 3: Creating the First Tier of Arms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        We work into the ch-5 spaces, using a combination of tr and dc for height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-5 loop. ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Arm Base:<\/strong> Work (dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, dc, dc)<\/strong> into the same ch-5 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Anchor:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> into the sc anchor<\/strong> between the ch-5 loops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Repeat:<\/strong> Work [(dc, dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, dc, dc) into the next ch-5 loop, sc in the next sc anchor]<\/strong> 5 more times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Finish:<\/strong> Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. (6 arms established).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Round 4: Finalizing the Icy Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This round uses picot stitches to create the sharp, decorative points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. ch 1<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> in the same st (the first dc of the arm).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Work sc<\/strong> in the next dc. ch 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Small Point:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> into the ch-1 space. Picot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Center Peak:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> into the tr stitch. Picot<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> into the same tr stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Small Point:<\/strong> Work Picot<\/strong> into the next ch-1 space. sc<\/strong> into the same space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Descent:<\/strong> ch 1<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> in the next 2 dc stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. Anchor\/Valley:<\/strong> sl st<\/strong> into the sc anchor<\/strong> between the arms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          8. Repeat:<\/strong> Continue the sequence [sc in next 2 dc, ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp, Picot, sc in tr, Picot, sc in tr, Picot, sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1, sc in next 2 dc, sl st in anchor]<\/strong> 5 more times around the motif.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          9. Finish:<\/strong> Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc. Fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Final Step: Stiffening and Blocking (Crucial!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            This step is absolutely necessary to make the snowflake hold its delicate shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Preparation:<\/strong> Mix a solution of liquid starch or use a stiffening spray (A 50\/50 mix of white glue and water also works well).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Soak:<\/strong> Submerge the finished snowflake completely in the solution. Gently squeeze out the excess liquid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Pinning:<\/strong> Lay the damp snowflake on a blocking board or towel. Using rust-proof pins, carefully pin out every single one of the six arms and every Picot point, stretching the lace tautly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Dry:<\/strong> Allow the piece to dry completely (may take 12\u201324 hours). The snowflake will be stiff and will hold its precise shape when removed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
