Classy Fan Stitch Shawls

Fan stitch in crochet is one of the most decorative and beautiful of all. It’s based on shell stitch, but it’s more intricate and creates larger shells, which resemble fans or feathers. This technique is perfect for lacy designs such as light shawls, wraps, tablecloths or other delicate and airy crocheted goods. Classy Fan Stitch Shawls are exceptionally elegant and will compliment many outfits, both formal and informal. They will work great as light beach covers or summer dress companions. In other words – they will come in handy everywhere you need to cover your shoulders without getting hot and sweaty. The gauge is not important here, however the final look will differ a lot, depending on what type of yarn you will choose. The finer the yarn, the more flowy look you will achieve, so play with colors and decide for yourself! Check out the use of fan stitch in the examples below.
