The “The Feather and the Fan”… sounds like a title of a criminal novel, but that’s the name of one of the most beautiful crochet stitches of all times.

Although the title seems a little 19th century, the feather and fan stitch certainly is modern and contemporary. Moreover, delicate waves combined with a beautiful texture are a recipe for an incredibly beautiful feather and fan stitch blanket or a scarf. Here are some blanket ideas in baby-ish hues together with a free pattern or tutorial which was used to create each item.

The blanket was based on YT tuturial by Fiber Spider:
