This stitch is done in multiples of 8 + 2
Once you chained your multiples to you desired width continue to row 1.
Row 1
sc into 2nd ch from hook. * Ch 3, skip 3 sts, sc in next. * repeat for row. Sc in last st of row. Ch 3 and turn.
Row 2
The fans are made all at once, by that I mean you will be turning your work back and forth as you make the fan, they are not made in rows.
- Step 1 –Put 4 double crochets into the first sc, find your next sc over and sc to anchor your shell. Ch 3 and TURN YOU WORK
- Step 2 –now work 1 DC into this first sc. Dc 2 in the next 4 double crochet. Giving you 10 DC’s total. Ch 3 and TURN YOU WORK
- Step 3 –sc in 2nd dc of row, * ch 3, skip 1 DC and sc into the next * do this total of 5 times. End by single crocheting into the top of the ch 3. Then sc into the next sc to anchor down your shell.
-And this will end your fan.
Now start your next fan by chaining 3 and repeating with Step 1. When you’ve single crocheted into your last sc of the row, ch 8 and turn.
Row 3
