Notes
Every round will be finished with a slip stitch
There will be no turning at the end of rounds. Continue working in the same direction through the whole pattern.
ch 1 will never count as a stitch.
Some embroidery knowledge is required for this pattern. Follow the chart provided to know exactly where to embroider the snowflake.
The number before a stitch (2sc) determines how many stitches are to be worked in a single stitch from the previous round.
The number after a stitch (sc 6) determines one stitch for each number of stitches from the previous round.
Round 5 will be worked in the back loops only, but all other rounds will be worked in both loops together.
