Since none of the feather and fan patterns I ran across online were written right I decided to sit down with some yarn and needles and come up with my own. It's very similar to the Feather and Fan Dishcloth. The only differences are I fixed Row 6 of the pattern and added a couple of more knit rows after that because that's the way I remember the one I had. I know it's not an exact copy of the one I had, which is why I'm calling it KopyKat.
******************************************
Materials: I used Bernat Softee Baby and size 10½ straight needles
Note: If you make an afghan using this pattern then use a circular needle.
Note: Slip the first st of each row for a nicer edge.
Cast on a multiple of 18 sts + 6 more-I cast on 78 and am making a wrap.
K 6 rows for garter st border.
Now do pattern as follows:
Row 1: K
Row 2: K 3, P to last 3, K 3
Row 3: K3, (K2tog) 3 times, *(YO, K1) 6 times, (K2tog) 6 times, rep from * to last 9 sts, K(2tog) 3 times, K 2
Rows 4-6: K
Repeat these 6 rows for pattern until your project is desired size, end by working Row 3.
K 6 rows for garter st border and BO in K.
Work in any loose ends.
Abbreviations used:
CO: Cast On
BO: Bind Off
K: Knit
P: Purl
YO: Yarn Over
K2tog: Knit 2 together
st: Stitch

This pattern has not been tested with anyone other than myself so if you try it and find a problem, please let me know.

Would love to see a picture of the completed afghan. From Iowa
I just knit a preemie using "Old Shale" pattern. Is this the same one? Don't understand "fixing" row 6.
