Hi, I was wondering if you know of a pattern that is very much like this feather and fan pattern, but it has panels made of the “fans” going vertical, and then when you get the number of panels that you need, you sew them together?? I’ve lost the pattern that I used years ago and I would like to knit my niece an afghan for her wedding present in October 2010. Help……Diane

I noticed you also do machine knitting. how would I mark the punch card for this pattern. It is so wonderful, but I can not knit by hand very fast.

I decided to use this pattern to make a scarf and I am half way through, but I was wondering…when I come to the end of the scarf will I end up with a scallopped edge like I did at the beginning of the scarf??? If not, do you know how I can???

Hi, I have been having trouble also with the feather and fan pattern. I cast on 40 stitches and made a border of two stitches on each side. So the pattern in the middle is K 2 tog, 3 times; yo, K 1 6 times and repeat that across the row. When I do that, I instantly have 49 stitches instead of the 40 I cast on. How do I do the feather and fan stitch without constantly increasing? What am I doing wrong?

I have been knitting for years, but I am having trouble with the feather and fan stitch in a coat that I am making. The pattern directions are the same as yours, but I have cast 234 stitches. By the time I get to the 3rd row of the second repeat of the pattern, I am off. The pattern is not lining up correctly. Should I knit more stitches together between the yo & k? Thanks for any help you can give. Mary
