Instructions

ROW 1: Make 90 chains slip stitch in first chain (make sure chain is not twisted). Go up with 3 chains (this counts as the first double crochet), make 21 double crochet, fan (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet), 44 double crochet, fan (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet) and 22 double crochet. Close row with a slip stitch. Let’s mark the separation chain we’ve just made with a stitch marker, to easily remember where we have to work the fan in the next row.

ROWS 2 – 5: Go up with 3 chains and make double crochet until we get to the separation chain of the previous row’s fan. Inside the space make 1 fan (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet), keep making double crochet, and when you get to the following fan of the previous row make another fan inside the space (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet). Keep making double crochet until the end of the row. Close row with a slip stitch.  

ROW 6: Go up with 3 chains + 1 chain, miss the next stitch and make 1 double crochet, 1 separation chain. Repeat sequence until you get to the fan of the previous row and make 1 fan inside the space (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet),  then 1 separation chain, miss next stitch and in the next stitch make 1 double crochet. Repeat sequence until you get to the next fan of the previous row and in the space make 1 fan (2 double crochet, 1 separation chain, 2 double crochet), then 1 separation chain, miss next stitch and in the next stitch make 1 double crochet. Repeat sequence until the end of the row. Close row with a slip stitch.
