Crochet Christmas Snowflake

Materials Needed:

Cotton Yarn (Catania from Schachenmayr recommended for original; color red yarn used in demonstration)
Crochet Hook 2 millimeter (2.5 millimeter used in demonstration for clarity)

Pattern Steps:

For Round 1:

Start with a magic ring.
Crochet three chain stitches.
Make one double crochet in the ring.
Chain one.
Repeat the double crochet and chain one in the ring 11 more times. You should have a total of 11 double crochet and chain stitches together to make 12.
Finish the round with a slip stitch in the second chain stitch.
Pull the yarn and close the ring.

Round 2:

Chain one then do a slip stitch between these chain stitches and the first double crochet.
For the next section, chain five then do a slip stitch between the next two double crochet.
In the next section, chain three and do a slip stitch between the next double crochet. Repeat this to the end of the round.
Alternate between a bigger section (five chain stitches) and a smaller section (three chain stitches) finishing with a final bigger section of only two chain stitches and a single crochet in this chain stitch.
By the end of Round 2, you should have six bigger sections and six smaller sections.

Round 3:

Chain one. In a big section, do two double crochet, three chain stitches, and a slip stitch.
Then crochet one triple crochet, five chain stitches, and do a slip stitch.
Do one more triple crochet in the same section.
Chain three, slip stitch, and complete two double crochet in the first section.
Chain one, slip stitch in the little section, and repeat every section as before: two double crochet, three, chain stitches, slip stitch, triple crochet, five chain stitches, slip stitch, triple crochet.
Finish the round with the last two double crochet and two chain ones, then do a slip stitch in the last little section.
Cut the yarn, pull through the backside, and secure.

Finishing Touches:

It is noted that the snowflake looks better when crocheted with a thinner hook, but a bigger hook was used in the video for clearer visualization.
Lastly, fasten off any loose ends and shape your snowflake as desired.
