This creates the lacy edging on the outside of the Snowflake. Rnd 6 isn’t difficult, but you may want to read carefully through the instructions before beginning!

After ch5 in row 6, I've found that it looks better to slip stitch into the 3rd chain from the hook, rather than the 2nd. This makes all 3 sections of the taller picot alike, as the other two sections of this picot are made with a ch3 and slip stitch at the top of the stem.
