Little snowflakes

Contents

Introduction

On this page several snowflake-grounds with 4 pairs are collected.

Snowflake 60

Usually, the little snowflake is drawn as picture on the left, on a 60 degree grid. The little snowflake can also be drawn on a 45 degree grid - especially the ones that are “crossed”.
Most of the variants shown on this page benefit of extra pins on the sides. As in the picture on the right. In the prickings below, the pins are not drawn.

Some of the grounds can be made either as a crossed snowflake or as a rose ground. See the example below: the result is the same.
