In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the zigzag fan stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The zigzag fan stitch is a repeat of one rows. It is a reversible crochet stitch and it looks the same on both sides. The fabric turns out light and lacy.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50 g yarn, color: 3304 (lilac), and a 2.0 mm hook.
