Supplies used for sample: 2 shuttles, Cebelia size 20 in white

Abbreviations:
R = ring
cl r = close ring
- = picot
SCMR = self closing mock ring
CH = chain
rw = reverse work
+ = join
SR = split ring

NOTE: this snowflake is executed in one complete round when using SCMR and SR techniques.

Load shuttles in CTM (continuous thread method). Start at the green triangle referred in the diagram.

SCMR: 4[R: 8 - 4 - 8, cl r] 4 [R: 8 - 4 - 8, cl r] 4 [R: 8 - 4 - 8, cl r] 4 [R: 8 - 4 - 8, cl r] 4 [R: 8 - 4 - 8, cl r] 4, cl r
make mock picot before SR
SR: 8/8-4, cl r
SR: 4/4, cl r
with shuttle #1:
R: 4 - 4, cl r
SR: 4/4, cl r, do not rw
*CH: 8, rw
R: 8 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2, cl r, rw
CH: 6, rw
R: 4 +(to last p of prev r) 4, cl r, rw
CH: 6, rw
R: 4, (to next p of same r) 4, cl r, rw
CH: 6, rw
with shuttle #2 make cloverleaf:
R: 8 - 2, cl r
R: 2 +(to p of prev r) 8 - 2, cl r
R: 2 +(to p of prev r) 8, cl r
CH: 6, rw
R: 4 +(to next p of same large r) 4, cl r, rw
CH: 6, rw
R: 4 +(to next p of same r) 4, cl r, rw
CH: 6 +(to first p of same r)
CH: 8, rw
SCMR: 4 [R: 4 +(to free p of next R of center section) 4, cl r] [R: 4 +(to p of next R of center section) 4, cl r] 4, cl r, rw*
This completes one section, repeat from * to * for the other points. Tie and work in ends.
