Pretty Picots Poinsettia Snowflake

This little snowflake came out of the fact that I was tired of making the snowflakes in the little book that I had (this was before I got the 99 snowflake book!) and I thought, how hard can a snowflake be? So, last year, I sat down with a ball of thread, a size 7 hook and went at it, and this is the result! Rating: Easy Materials: ~Royale Metallic Crochet Cotton size 10 in White/pearl ~Size 7/1.65 mm Steel hook ~Stiffener, stainless steel straight pins, a pinning board (I cover mine with plastic wrap, “Press and Seal” works really well), follow directions on the stiffener.
