  • Row 1 (Setup Row): Ch 1. Sc in each st across. This row gives a stable base for the scallops. Turn.
  • Row 2 (Scallop Row): Ch 1, sc in first st, sk next 2 sts, work (tr, dc, tr, dc, tr) in next st (this is the scallop), sk next 2 sts, sc in next st; rep from across the row. You should end with a final sc in last st. Fasten off and weave in ends.

  • Block your work if desired light steam blocking or wet blocking will help the scallops lay flat and open beautifully.
  • Weave in all yarn tails with a tapestry needle.
  • If created separately, attach using whip stitch along the edge, matching up the scallops with consistent spacing.

Tips & Variations:

  • For smaller scallops, swap all tr for dc.
  • For larger scallops, increase the number of treble crochets to 5 or more per fan.
  • To add lace detail, insert ch 1 between each tr/dc within the fan.
  • Try using a contrasting yarn color for bold effect, or a gradient yarn for elegant transitions.
