FISHERMAN'S FAN
By Elisa Purnell Copyright October 2009 What to do with a small ball of expensive yarn? I wanted a thin scarf that was a little bit dressy, a litle bit different. And I wanted to use every single inch of luscious cashmere, without running out before Ifinished the pattern. My solution was to weigh the yarn as I worked (a food scale can be used for this), using a set amount for each of the three sections. I've noted both the worked length and the yarn weight used for each sectionbelow.
Materials:
· Jade Sapphire's Mongolian Cashmere 4-ply, 55g/1.8 oz/ 200 yds · Size “H" - 5.00mm crochet hook Gauge: 9 stitches in pattern (single crochet, double crochet) $=2^{\ast}$ ， 5rows $=2^{\ast}$
Stitches:
(Can be used as alternative to Foundation Row in pattern.) Foundation Single Crochet $(F\mathbf{s}c)$ :chain 2, insert hook in first chain of chain 2 (nearest slip knot),\*draw up loop (2 loops on hook); YO and draw through first loop $^{**}\mathrm{ch}\;1$ made - still 2 loops on hook); YO and draw through remaining 2 loops. Fsc made. Insert hook in ch 1 of previous stitch, repeat from \*. Foundation row: Alternate foundation single crochet and foundation double crochet for 16 stitches, as follows: \* Chain 2 (counts as first single crochet); \* yarn over and insert hook in $2^{\mathsf{n d}}$ chain from hook (nearest slip knot, yarn over and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook); yarn over and draw through first loop (chain 1 made; still 3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 loops, yarn over and draw through remaining 2 loops (first double crochet made). + \*Insert hook in chain-1 of previous stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop; yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook (chain 1 made), yarn over and draw through both loops on hook (single crochet made). +Yarn over and insert hook in chain-1 of previous stitch; yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook (chain-1 made); yarn over and draw through 2 loops, yarn over and draw through remaining loops (double crochet made). \* Repeat from \* until you have 16 stitches, ending with foundation double crochet.

Place a marker in center of row designating this as the right side. Repeat Row 2 for $^{24^{\ast}}$ (or until you've used .8 ounces of yarn), ending on a wrong side row. Chain 1, turn; single crochet in each stitch across. Do not fasten off. (you should have 16 stitches) \*\*Begin Fan pattern. Row 1: Chain 3, turn; 2 double crochet in same stitch.
