🌸 Pattern Structure Overview

This is a repeating textured stitch pattern made from:

• chain spaces
• groups of double crochet
• fan-like arches

👉 The pattern is worked row by row (back and forth).

---

✨ STEP 1: Foundation Chain

1. Make a slip knot
2. Chain a multiple of:
   • (pattern repeat + extra chains)
     👉 Example: multiples of 8 + 2

---

✨ STEP 2: Row 1 (Base Row)

1. Start in the 4th chain from hook
2. Work:
   • 1 dc in same stitch
   • 1 dc in next stitches across
3. Continue until end
4. Turn

👉 This row creates a solid base

---

✨ STEP 3: Row 2 (Create Chain Spaces)

1. Ch 3 (counts as dc)
2. Skip 2 stitches
3. Work:
   • (dc, ch 2, dc) into next stitch → creates V-shape
4. Skip 2 stitches
5. Repeat across:
   • (dc, ch 2, dc)
6. End with 1 dc
7. Turn

👉 Now you have open spaces (arches)

---

✨ STEP 4: Row 3 (Fan Pattern Begins)

1. Ch 3
2. Into each chain space (ch-2 sp) work:
   • 5 dc (fan group)
3. Between fans:
   • 1 sc into previous dc
4. Repeat across:
   • (5 dc in space, sc between)
5. Turn

👉 This creates the beautiful shell/fan texture

---

✨ STEP 5: Row 4 (Rebuild Spaces)

1. Ch 3
2. Work:
   • dc in first stitch
3. In middle of each fan:
   • (dc, ch 2, dc)
4. Between fans:
   • skip stitches
5. Repeat across
6. Turn

👉 You are rebuilding the V-spaces again

---

🔁 STEP 6: Repeat Pattern

Repeat:

• Row 3 (fan row)
• Row 4 (space row)

👉 Continue until desired length

---

✨ STEP 7: Final Row (Optional Border)

You can finish with:

• Row of sc across
  OR
• Decorative edge:
  • (sc, ch 3, sl st in same stitch) repeat

---

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Keep tension consistent (very important for neat fans)
• Use light color yarn to see stitch details clearly
• Count stitches every row to avoid shifting pattern
• Block your work at the end for a polished look
