Twenty One

This makes the twenty first design this season, but this one is a little bit weird. It starts with a simple ring and gets a little squirrely on the second round. It starts out simply enough with a split ring into a chain. At the end of the round you have 2 split chains with a ring in between.  So you leave enough bare thread for the split chain, tat the ring joining to the picot of the central ring. Join the thread to the base of the starting ring of the round then tat the split chain back to the last ring just completed. Afterward tat the last split chain. It sounds and looks confusing on the diagram, but just do it one section at a time. 

As Muskaan mentioned, if you climb out from the central ring into the small ring on the right, you avoid the squirrel-y bit of this pattern and make it simple again. So I re-drew it. The little rings on the tips of the points are split ring up, chain, split ring down. Al kind of weird, but a pretty enough flake.

What's the use of a snowflake without a pattern, so here it is:

  3. Very very pretty !!!
    If we climb out of central ring with SR on the left of short chain, then climbing out to last round will only require one split chain (with a join).
    Thanks for the pattern :-D
    Hope your finger is holding up ...
