This pattern was something that just came together for me, after looking at unbeaded hexagonal motifs. It doesn't have enough points to be a snowflake, so I call it a starflake. This sample was done with rocaille beads and size 20 DMC thread.
R 12---8---4 R 4 B+ 7 (1 bead on shuttle thread, 3 beads on ball thread) 7---4. R 4 B+ 8---12. Ch 3---7. SSR 3---3 (5 beads on ball thread) 3---3. SS. Ch 7---3. *R 12 B+ 8---4 R 4 B+ 7 (1 bead on shuttle thread, 3 beads on ball thread) 7---4. R 4 B+ 8---12. Ch 3 B+ 7. SS. R 3 B+ 3 join between beads 3---3. SS.
Ch 7---3. Repeat from * 2 more times. R 12 B+ 8---4 R 4 B+ 7 (1 bead on shuttle thread, 3 beads on ball thread) 7---4. R 4 B+ 8 B+ to picot on first ring 12. Ch 3 B+ 7. SS. R 3 B+ 3 join between beads 3 B+ 3. SS. Ch 7 B+ 3. Tie and cut to base of first chain.
