The feather and fan stitch is a classic lace knitting pattern. It consists of equal amounts of yarn overs and decreases, creating a lace fan with alternating waves. This stitch can be created with many different variations, but it’s a great pattern for lace scarves, shawls, and even blankets.
I can't believe how crystal clear the video and instructions are. I watched it once and then grabbed a ball of yarnd and my needles. I knit right along and wonder why I have not taken the time to do more feather and fan. This will be on my must see for students learning to knit. Thanks

Thank you! The music kind of reminds me of the cantina scene in Star Wars.

I am puzzled: does the picture of the feather and fan lace stitch only have 24 stitches casted on? I am struggling, shouldn't row 3 read only: (k2tog) 4 times, (yo, k1) 8 times: repeat to end….because that would be up down then repeating but what I am seeing is up down up and up down up and up down up… that is not making any sense to me. As it reads (k2tog) 4 times, (yo, K1) 8 times, (k2tog) 4 times. Please be kind I am truely a beginner.

The photo shows two repeats so you can see how the pattern progresses across the row.
Lovely pattern. Making a scarf right now with a variegated yarn (monet colors).
Enjoying the simplicity of the pattern repeat while getting a nice lacey look.
Thanks.
