Motif Thirteen-Winter's Day Snowflake

This snowflake is from "Big Book of Tatting" by Darlene Polachic. I like it because it reminds me of vintage patterns that are mostly single shuttle ring only, with just a few chains. My thread spaces and picots are a little bigger than the photo in the book, and therefore, I had to add a few extra stitches in the outer round. This was size 50 Cordonette, a joy to work with.
