What other rings will work for this yarn snowflake craft?

How can I tell how many points I’ll have when I make my own snowflake yarn patterns?
The final number of points will depend on the number of the starting bundles and how many joins you have in the pattern. The joins cut the number of final points in half. If you start with 12 bundles and only include 1 join in the snowflake, it will have 6 points. Adding an extra join will result in 3 points. Starting with 16 bundles and making 1 join will result in 8 points. Adding an extra join with this number of bundles will result in 4 points. Play around with the number of bundles and joins to get a final product you like. It’s very easy to start again and add more bundles, or even remove a few!
How can I change the size of the yarn snowflakes I make?
To make a larger snowflake you can cut longer strands for the initial bundles and continue working rounds into it. You can also use a larger ring size and make more bundles (or use thicker yarn). If you don’t want to use a larger ring size, you can either start with more bundles of fewer strands per bundle or add more split rounds into your pattern. To make a smaller snowflake, the reverse is true. You can use a smaller ring size to make a smaller snowflake. Or you can start with fewer bundles with more strands per bundle, or use fewer split rounds in your pattern.
These yarn snowflakes are the perfect way to brighten up your winter! Use them as coasters on your coffee table, or make smaller versions with embroidery floss to use as keychains or earrings. No matter how you display them, these snowflakes will keep your space feeling comfy and warm all season long!
