PRODUCT REVIEWS are required for free patterns.  It seems to help the website ranking, so it is in the best interest of the website users to write lots of reviews.  This pattern is made from a real snowflake made from a photograph by a scientist at California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, CA), Ken Libbrecht, who kindly offered to let me use them to make patterns.
