Step-by-Step Pattern

Attach Your Yarn:
- Join your edging yarn at any point along the edge of your project. Use a contrasting color if you want the edging to pop.
Start the Edging:
- Pull up a loop and chain 1 to secure your yarn (this acts as your first single crochet).
Begin the Half-Fan:
- Chain 3 more (you now have a total of 4 chains — 1 single crochet, 3 for height).
- In the same stitch, work 1 double crochet (DC).
Skip Base Stitches:
- Skip the next 2 base stitches.
- In the following stitch, make a single crochet (sc) to anchor your half-fan.
Repeat the Half-Fan:
- Chain 3, work 1 double crochet in the same stitch as your anchoring single crochet.
- Skip 2 base stitches.
- In the next stitch, single crochet.
- Repeat across the entire edge.
Customize as Needed:
- For a thicker border, add another double crochet to each half-fan.
- If your yarn is particularly thick, you can use chain-3 and one double crochet for each fan. If thin or pulling too tightly, increase the number of double crochets in each fan.
Finish the Round:
- When you reach the end, finish the last fan and secure the yarn behind your initial chain.
- Cut your yarn and pull it through to fasten off.
Weave in the Ends:
- Use a tapestry needle to hide yarn tails securely along the stitches on the back side, weaving in several directions to prevent unraveling.
- Add an extra locking stitch by looping through an existing stitch and pulling the tail through, then weave in a bit more before trimming.
