The unconnected rings with the chain between them still resulted in a big hole in the middle of the grouping. It could probably be covered by a bead, but I wasn't looking for a beady design. I included some insets showing split rings, split chains and directional arrows that will hopefully make the drawing clearer. In order to tat it in one pass begin with the central ring and use a split ring to climb out. Then tat the short connecting chain to the next 3 ring grouping. The 2 rings of the first grouping thrown off the top of the chain don't get tatted until you finish the row.
It's not what I'd call a successful design, but it's done and it'll look OK hanging on the back of the tree. Since I already had it half drawn anyway I finished the pattern and it's posted below if anyone is interested in this insipid design.
Onwards and upwards, hopefully to something I like more. I picked up the snowflake with the daisy centre that I started November 12th and cut off the offending bits and started again. So far I'm liking it.

It does look more snowflak-y ;-D
I love the 3-ring clusters. When I tat this one, I'll try adding a few graduated picots - perhaps you'll find that more interesting ;-P
Thanks for sharing yet another pattern.
I like it, and especially the center! :)
The 3-ring element make it an interesting design, thanks for sharing the pattern.
There is always room for another snowflake no two alike❤🎄❤
