Double Pillar Snowflake



Please comment if you find a mistake. I've tried to test this pattern, but it's hard to catch mistakes when you already know how it's all supposed to go...


ch 6, join w/ sl st in first ch

Rnd 1: ch1, 12 sc in ring, join w/ sl st in first sc

Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in next sc, [ch 7, dc in each of the next 2 sc] five times, ch 4, dc in 3rd ch of beg ch 3 to join (this dc counts as second half of a ch 7 sp).

Rnd 3: ch 1, 4 sc covering dc just made, * sc between next 2 dc, in next ch 7 sp work [4 sc, ch 3, 4 sc], repeat from * 4 more times, 4 sc in first/final ch lp, join with dc into first sc of round (this dc counts as a ch 3 sp)

Rnd 4: ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in same ch 3 sp, *ch 3, sl st between 2 dc just made, ch 7, sl st in 4th ch from hook (first picot made), ch 7, sl st in 7th ch from hook, ch 4, sl st in 4th ch from hook, sc in each of the 2 chains before first picot, ch 1, 2dc in same ch 3 sp, ch 3, sl st between 2 dc just made, ch 5, sl st in the sc of previous round which was worked between 2 dc of round 2, ch 3, sl st in same sc, ch 5, 2 dc in ch 3 sp at tip of next point.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times, omitting last 2 dc on final repeat. Instead, join in 3rd ch of beg. ch 3. Finish off.

I'm planning to try to learn how to chart my snowflake patterns. Would this be a feature you'd use and enjoy? Please comment to let me know :)

  1. Lovely! Thanks for sharing. :)
    Personally, I think a chart would be a very useful feature.

  2. Charts are good! I can read 'em, haven't tried creating one yet, but will learn one of these days. It's learning a new skill, and some are better at reading charts than reading written instructions (there are many times I have a heck of a time keeping track of where I am in written instructions because my eyes don't track well).

    If you're up for it, and if more people like the idea, I'd say, go for it!
