The Pattern

You will need a 4mm hook for this piece.

With Colour M, make a chain of 80

Row 1. In 3rd chain from hook sc (turning Ch counts as a sc). *Ch3, skip 3 stitches, sc* repeat between * and* in the last stitch make a sc.

Row 2. Turn, ch1. Alt turn chain in the 1st stitch, hdc in next stitch. In the same stitch make 7 hdc. *Sc in the sc in row 1. Ch1. In the same stitch as the sc, make 7 hdc* 

repeat between *and* in the 2nd to last stitch sc and chain 1. Hdc in last stitch. The fans will overlap each each other.

Row 3. Turn, ch1 and sc in the 1st stitch and in the top of the sc in the previous row. *chain 3, skip 3 stitches and sc* repeat between *and* sc in the last 2 stitches. This row will sit behind your previous row, looking like it’s on the back of your piece.

Rows 4-11.  repeat rows 2 and 3

Row 2 = 2 slst

Rows 3 – 5 = 1 slst

Row 6 = 2 slst

Rows 7 – 9 = 1 slst
