  2. Next round: Skip 2 stitches, 5 dc in next stitch (shell), skip 2, sl st in next stitch, repeat for a delicate scalloped edge.

🪄 Blocking (Highly Recommended):

  • Gently steam block the finished piece to open up the fan shapes and even out the stitches. This enhances the texture and appearance.

🌸 Tips & Variations:

  • For a more vibrant look, try alternating colors for each row.
  • Make a shorter version as a mantle runner or a dresser topper.
  • Use finer cotton thread for a lace-like effect.

🧠 Assembly & Customization Tips:

  • Block your finished runner to flatten the pattern and enhance stitch definition.
  • Adjust width by increasing or decreasing foundation chains in multiples of 18.

🧼 Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on delicate.
