Crochet with Aabhar – Big Fan Crochet Stitch

Big Fan Crochet Stitch is a beginner-friendly, easy crochet pattern with huge repeating fan-like motifs arranged diagonally to each other. Hundreds of fan stitch variations exist, and this is just one of them. If you’re familiar with single and double crochet stitches, you can master this simple stitch in no time.

It is an open, lacework crochet pattern that repeats over 6 rows and each ‘fan’ motif is spread over 20 stitches.

Being an openwork pattern, it won’t use too much yarn, unlike crochet patterns that involve too many yarn overs.
