Snowflake chart for knitting?
I want to knit a scarf with snowflakes. I've spent some time looking for a chart on the internet but can't find one I find attractive and many have more than six sides so are not correct.

Part of the problem with charted snowflakes is that knit stitches are not square. They tend to be wider than they are tall, which tends to squash the snowflake. So I suggest make a swatch and print off a piece of knitter's graph paper which has "squares" the shape of knit stitches (so rectangular rather than actually square). Then sketch your snowflake on it and do some fiddling to make it look nice.

Most charts you find will be intended for counted-cross stitch, and will therefore assume the dots of color are square. With many things it is close enough that you can just use it for knitting anyway. But for something radially symmetrical like a snowflake, it's not going to look good compressed.

Have you tried designing your own Draw the kind you want and then work out the number of stitches etc depending on the size you want them to be.
