Continue in this way until you have made 8 fans.

On last row make a picot in all 13 spaces, then secure with 1 dc into the 7th picot of row 3 of fan 6. This is now the 7th from the left or fourth from the right. Cut thread and weave in end.

To make a tassel cut 5 threads each 20cm long. Fold in half and loop through starting loop. I include the beginning thread with this.

I then spray starch and iron to make stiff.

I make these for the school fete. I also did a heap at Christmas to put in the cards, and have a few on hand as a "Thank - yous" and Birthday Gifts, Mothers Day etc.They sell like crazy at charity fundraisers. I enjoy making them in different colours, and mount them on a piece of card with some words scribbled on. ala Happy Reading, Thinking of you etc.. Depends how soppy I am feeling .

While I am happy for you to make these for personal use, gifts and charity fundraising, please do not sell to make a personal profit.

Do have fun tho, as they are quick and easy once you get the hang of the fans. As a gift they are always appreciated.
