This textured snowflake pattern has 9 rounds and measures about 3 3/4". The texture is added by working around the posts of the dc stitches instead of in them. For the snowflakes pictured thread I used is Aunt Lydia's size 10 cotton crochet thread in the colors Cream and Delft.
There is also an ad-free printable version of this pattern in the ebook Winterwoven Snowflakes.
It is available to purchase in my Ravelry Store and Etsy shop here-

Blocking and Finishing
It is optional but recommended to block your finished piece. Soak the snowflake in liquid starch or dilute with water if you prefer it to be lightly stiffened. Gently press out any excess liquid, being careful not to pull or twist on the stitches. Lay it flat on a blocking mat and pin the snowflake working from the center out to the edges. Allow to dry completely before removing the pins.
