How to crochet a fan edge

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a cute and decorating fan edge.

This edge can be added on a crochet piece, or on a knitted piece, or you can crochet and sew it on to a piece of fabric, like a towel.

If working along a crochet edge you will need a number of sts that can be divided by 8 + 1. If working in the round you need a number of sts that can be divided in 8. On our sample we have 25 sts.

Crochet like this: 1 dc, * skip 3 sts, 4 tr + ch 2 + 4 tr in next st, skip 3 sts, 1 dc in next st *, repeat from *-*.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.
