A fun snowflake

This is a gift I tatted for a neighbor. It’s an adaptation of a snowflake in a book. The photo didn’t match the written-out directions. There is no diagram. I’m sure someone else has come up with the modifications I settled on. I kept the stitch count just about the same. I added picot joins to provide a bit of stability. Working the snowflake using metallic thread helped with that also. I’d like to add beads the next time.
