Materials Needed
- Yarn: DK weight, 100% merino wool in deep forest green
- Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm)
- Gauge: 16 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in Feather and Fan pattern
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Foundation Row:
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 72. This will form the foundation of your shawl.
- Row 1:
In the 4th chain from your hook, make a double crochet (dc). This counts as your first dc. Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
- Row 2:
Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, you will work the Feather and Fan stitch pattern:
- *Make a dc2tog (double crochet two together), then dc in the next 3 stitches.
- Next, make 2 dc in the next 2 stitches.
- Continue with dc in the next 3 stitches, followed by another dc2tog.*
Repeat the instructions between the asterisks across the row, ending with a dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
- Row 3:
Chain 3 (counts as your first dc) and make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
- Row 4:
Chain 3 (counts as your first dc). Repeat the Feather and Fan stitch pattern as you did in Row 2:
- *dc2tog, dc in the next 3 sts, 2 dc in the next 2 sts, dc in the next 3 sts, dc2tog; repeat from * across, ending with dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
- Continue the Pattern:
Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. This will create the beautiful wave-like texture of the shawl.
- Finishing:
Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your shawl a clean and polished look.
Congratulations! You have now completed your Enchanted Forest Feather and Fan Shawl. Enjoy wearing your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
