Instructions
- Fan Stitches are created by crocheting more than twice into the same stitch. They differ from shell stitches in two ways:
-
1
Fan stitches have a least one chain space in between the stitches. This can either be separating each stitch, or at one point in the stitch.
-
2
Fan stitches are almost always stacked in columns one on top of the other.
