This snowflake has been directly inspired by a free pattern I came across on the “Coats and Clark” website. The original pattern was written by Mary Jane Protus, and can be found on the Coats and Crafts website HERE.

I have altered it to suit my way of thinking and working with crochet, simplifying it a little if you like, and written it out in UK crochet terms, but I give full credit for the original design to Mary Jane Protus.
