Feather and Fan, our stitch of the week, is a fun knitting stitch pattern that looks a lot fancier and more difficult than it is. In fact, you only have to do something unusual on one row of the pattern repeat--the rest are just knits and purls.
Feather and fan is a wonderful choice for afghans and wraps, and it makes a cute border for sweaters, washcloths and other knitted objects.
Lots of knitters love Feather and Fan because once you learn the simple pattern it's very quick to knit and easy to remember.
