The traditional patterns of Shetland lace have been an inspiration for many lace knitters. Feather and Fan has been adapted in this pattern, creating the well known fan shape in both the scarf and hand warmer patterns.

Larger ‘fans’ on the beginning and ending borders of the scarf create a feminine flare.

Traditional Feather and Fan lace uses sections of increases and decreases on the same row, followed by rows of plain knitting, all creating a lovely fan shape. In the Fans with Flair variation of the pattern, the increases are worked on one row, and the decreases are spread out over several rows. This creates a lacier fabric and still maintains the fan shape.

NOTE: Provenance Knit patterns use charts.
Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
