I eyed this fan lace motif<\/strong> a looong time ago, and I absolutely wanted to use it for a shawl. The stitch motif is called Feather and Fan Stitch<\/a> and there are several patterns that use it to make rectangular shawls and wraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I really wanted to adapt the Feather and Fan Stitch to make a triangular shawl for my mum’s birthday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after a little bit of trial and error, a.k.a. lots of frogging<\/em>, I finally came up with the right numbers for a perfect crochet triangle shawl<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n

Once I had the right numbers and stitch repeats, I went on and on, crocheting many rows until a very obvious question finally crossed my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the shawl is going to grow after blocking?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the answer is yes, the shawl grows a lot after blocking<\/strong> because the lace stitches really open up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, keep it in mind when you crochet your shawl. Especially if you are going to use wool<\/strong> or wool blends<\/strong>, the lace stitches will need blocking to show up at their best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
