In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the large uneven fan stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light and breathable. It works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, and other summer crochet projects. This stitch can also be used in decorative crochet projects for the home.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The large uneven fan stitch is a repeat of two rows. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet stitch.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100 % 8/4 50 g, color: 361 (grey). However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
