🩵 Inspiration and design

The idea behind this stitch was to capture the elegance of classic handmade crochet and combine it with a modern, clean look.

The repeated fan pattern gives it a soft rhythm and a balanced, vintage charm. Working it in light or pastel tones — like ivory, cream, or soft pink — enhances its delicate beauty and makes it perfect for baby blankets, baptism gifts, or elegant home décor pieces.

If you prefer something more modern, you can also play with color contrasts: dusty rose, pearl gray, or warm beige create beautiful and contemporary results.

🧵 Recommended materials

To achieve the best results, I recommend using soft baby acrylic yarn or mercerized cotton. Both provide a light texture, a smooth finish, and great stitch definition.

• Yarn type: 100 g per 250 m (approx.)

• Yarn weight: fine or medium, depending on your project

• Hook size: 3 mm to 3.5 mm

• Other tools: yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape, and optional ribbon for decoration

You can also add a scalloped border to give your project a more elegant, handcrafted finish like the one in the image.

🌸 Ideas for using this stitch

One of the best things about this fan stitch is its versatility — it can be adapted to many projects:

• Baby blankets: soft, light, and full of tenderness.

• Shawls or scarves: with beautiful drape and a touch of elegance.

• Table runners or doilies: the openwork looks stunning on flat surfaces.

• Cushion covers or home décor: add texture and charm to any room.

• Summer garments: like skirts, tops, or light cardigans with a romantic feel.

Whatever you decide to make, this stitch will always bring refinement, warmth, and artisan character.

🪡 Practical tips for a perfect finish

I won’t explain how to make the stitch here — that’s what the video tutorial on Majovel Crochet’s YouTube channel is for — but here are some general tips to help you get the best result:

1. Keep a consistent tension throughout your work.

2. Block your finished piece to make the fans stand out beautifully.

3. For a softer texture, use a slightly larger hook than recommended.

4. Combine harmonious colors (white with beige, pink with cream, gray with pearl) to enhance the pattern.

5. Most importantly: enjoy the process — this stitch has a relaxing rhythm that makes crocheting a joy.
