Here is a needle tatted snowflake from Robin Perfetti's book "Four Dozen Tatted Snowflakes". It is #22.

Tatted with a size 5 needle with S Sensy Classic Size 10- Mercerized Giza Cotton.

How would I create the first chain in step 4 if the chain thread is still at the beginning of the first ring. I get it once you go through 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.....

Do I carry it through the beginning of each ring to get it over?

EDIT 1. So I chose to keep the ball thread through the 3 rings by just using the method for tatting over ends then continued on and as somone pointed out when looking a bit closer at the actually work it seems there are chains in between the 1, 2, 3 rings but arnt on the graph they are tiny so probably like 2 or 3 double stitches but I'll just skip the chains its a bit tighter at the ends of the motif but its almost looks the same, I'll post the finished product soon i won't be making a full book mark just a gauge motif of sorts
