“Feather and Fan has been adapted in this pattern, creating the well known fan shape in both the scarf and hand warmer patterns. Larger ‘fans’ on the beginning and ending borders of the scarf create a feminine flare.

“The scarf is worked in 2 halves, with the second half reversing the placement of the decreases, so that the 2 halves mirror each other… . A “prevelance of purls” on the right side of the scarf helps to create a fabric that lays flat.“ - from The Needle Arts Book Shop on-site pattern description.
