Featherline Snowflake

Two shuttles with SCMRs (Self-closing Mock Rings)

Round 1

This round is made entirely of SCMRs with floating ring with each SCMR. CLick on the link for a tutorial on SCMRs. The SCMRs are shown in green in the chart. For this snowflake, I use the GR-8 Brothers method of making the SCMRs.

SCMR(5-4..). Do not close the SCMR at this point.

Switch shuttle (SS) and make the floating ring R(3-3-4-3-3).

SS and continue with the SCMR (..4-5). Close the SCMR.

Make a SLT with the two shuttle threads.

(*)SCMR(5+[to the last picot of the previous SCMR]4..). Do not close the SCMR.

SS and make the floating ring R(3-3-4-3-3).

SS and continue with the SCMR(..4-5). Close the SCMR.

Repeat from (*) four times. The last SCMR is joined on both sides, to the previous SCMR and to the first SCMR. Cut thread, tie and hide ends.

Round 2

R(4-3-5), reverse work (RW)

SS, R(3-3+[to the picot on the 2nd picot if any floating ring of Rd 1]3-3). Do not reverse.

(*)SS, C(6). RW

R(5+[to last picot of adj ring]3-4). Do not reverse.

SS, R(3-3+[to 3rd picot of the next floating ring]3-3). RW.

C(3-3-3), do not reverse.

SS, R(3+[last picot of previous chain]3-4-2), R(2+[last picot of previous ring]4-4-2) and R(2+[last picot of previous ring]4-3-3). Do not reverse.

SS, C(3+[to last picot of previous ring]3-3). Do not reverse.

SS, R(4-3-5), reverse work.

SS, R(3-3+[to 2nd picot of floating ring joined earlier]3-3). Do not reverse.
